What happens

Wine Cellars (Spanish: La bodega) is a 1930 French-Spanish film directed by Benito Perojo and starring Colette Darfeuil, Valentín Parera and Enrique Rivero. It was originally made as a silent film, with sound added later. Based on the film's reputation, Perojo was invited to Hollywood to make Spanish-language films for the major studios. It was shot at the Joinville Studios in Paris and on location in Cádiz and Seville. The film's sets were designed by the art director Lucien Carré. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
