What happens

Robert Rylands' Last Journey (Spanish: El último viaje de Robert Rylands) is a 1996 Spanish-British film directed by Gracia Querejeta. It was the director's second feature film. Her script is a loose adaptation of the 1989 Javier Marías novel Todas las almas, which the novelist repudiated. The subsequent controversy ended with a lawsuit, which resulted in an indemnification towards the writer and an order to withdraw his name from the credits of the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
