This film is a bit of a rarity in collector circles, with very few copies available, especially in good condition. Its historical context and the unique take on spiritual themes keep it interesting for those focused on Mexican cinema. The film’s print history is somewhat obscure, which adds to its allure for collectors who appreciate films that have slipped under the mainstream radar.
