What happens
El hijo de Hernández is an American-made 2013 Spanish feature-length drama film directed by Lorenzo M. Ponce de León and is based on the novel El hijo de Hernández by Frédéric Conrod, and starring Juan Penalva, Antonio Sarrió, Roxanne Rodríguez, Guglia Rivera, and Kathleen Zamon. It was created alongside the author of the book and shot in Madrid and Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, when the actual setting of the book and film is undisclosed. The narrative is set almost entirely in the desert. Ponce de León describes the film as "The precise balance between theatre and cinema giving viewers both a cinematic experience and the sensations of sitting in a theatre watching actors on a stage."
