The film is the second in a trilogy co-produced by Bunuel and Mexican actress Sylvia Silvia Pinal, financed by Binar's husband, Gustavo Alatriste (Gustavo Alatriste). The story begins with a big dinner. The Norbiers entertain their friends at home, but when the guests arrive, the cook and servant suddenly leave, leaving only the housekeeper Julio (Claudio Brooke Claudio Brook). After the banquet, the guests watched one of the guests play the piano in the living room, but no one planned to leave after the banquet. Everyone and clothes slept in the house and woke up early in the morning to find that no one could leave. As soon as they got to the door, they paid attention. The party were mysteriously trapped for several days, and people outside the house were unable to enter. Shrouded in hunger, thirst, fatigue and fear, these upper-class men and women began to quarrel, cry, get violent, and even threaten to kill their masters and break the "spell" regardless of their status.... This film was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 1962 Cannes Film Festival in France.
