Wikipedia article
'La vida por delante' is a 1958 Spanish comedy film starring and written and directed by Fernando Fernn Gmez. The film enjoyed enough success to inspire a sequel, 'La vida alrededor', released in 1959.
Life ahead narrates the misadventures of a newlywed couple, the lawyer Antonio Redondo (Fernando) and the doctor Josefina Castro (played by Fernn Gmez's partner at the time, the Hispanic-Argentine Anala Gad) with their different avatars. Family, work and conjugal, especially with those insurmountable barriers that must be overcome in order to acquire a decent home. It emerges as an acid and gray portrait of the Spain of the fifties, explaining the miseries and hardships that squeezed the desire for prosperity and freedom of a youth that lived in a constant unreality, tortured by the lack of autonomy, hopes and expectations. Within an opaque, gloomy and gloomy nation that left no room for genius or debate.
