The House Without Frontiers

The House Without Frontiers (La casa in fronteras) is about a secret society that wants to a better society, so they recruit young people whom they believe have moral character to fix what is wrong in the world. However, those who don't live up to their ideals are punished.

A young man, Daniel, arrives in the city and gets recruited by the organization to find a young woman named Lucia

The movie takes it time in setting up why the organization wants to find Luis. It is the last thirty minutes of the film, Daniel finds her.

The secret society is a thinly veiled version of Opus Dei.

At the time of the film release, Franco ruled Spain. This film comes across as a criticism of the Catholic Church's support of the the Franco government.

The movie has a dream like quality to it. The pacing is slow and a little uneven. The acting is excellent.
