El Esqueleto
(The Skeleton)
Among the Mexican traditions there are popular legends told generation after generation about tragic events involving tormented lovers and greedy people who stop at nothing, not even murder.

Judith Keter is "La Diva".

Saltillo, state capitol of Coahuila, in the north of Mexico, has it's own, compiled in a book titled "Legends of Saltillo". "El Esqueleto" is a fictitious tale inspired in all those cultural affairs.
The movie was filmed in Mexico and L.A
 

Three hundred years ago a wealthy Marquis is killed by a group of Inquisitors. His "dark habits" justified them in taking his life. This also allowed them to take his land and fortune. With the feeling of his own death at hand, Marquis left a curse swearing to return three hundred years later to avenge his death on the Inquisitor's descendants.
Robert Arevalo and Angie Pimentel.

The year is 1997, it is three hundred years later, and he has returned on the night of the Animas...

Robert Arevalo ("Desperado" and "Fools Rush In") plays the student nicknamed "El Esqueleto". Possessed by Marquis soul, he is the vehicle for his curse. Where there's evil there's good, and her name is Sor Juana the nun, played by Angie Pimentel who along with the help of her uncle "Cruz" (played by Amado Ramirez of the Mexican hit "Like Water for Chocolate") and others will try to stop this curse of bloodshed and revenge. The cast is rounded off by the "young inquisitors" La Diva (argentinean actress Judith Keter), El Payaso (mexican actor Noe Cavazos) and the other young trouble makers played by a cast of theater actors from Saltillo.

Written and directed by Alfredo Galindo, who is also the author of a recently published book titled "Coahuila and it's Lead in the First Hundred Years of Moviemaking in Mexican and International Films". Mexico, 1997. 83 minutes, spanish with english subtitles.
