The Enchanted Forest (Spanish: El bosque encantado)[1] is a 1987 Spanish comedy-fantasy film directed by José Luis Cuerda and written by Rafael Azcona, based on the eponymous novel written by Wenceslao Fernández Flórez. The film has a large ensemble cast headed by Alfredo Landa. It was a critical success winning five Goya Awards including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor.
Plot
The film shows the adventures of the human inhabitants of the shrubland of Cecebre and how their paths cross over under the shelter of a lively forest where animals, people and plants form a harmonious system. It notably tells the misfortunes of Malvís, a farm hand sick of the shortages of his trade, who decides to become a bandit and hides in the shrubland under the alias Fendetestas, and who is joined by a kid as an apprentice, Fuco; of Geraldo, a well-digger who lost a leg while whale hunting and is in love with Hermelinda, who is leaving to the city fed up with her aunt; of the lost soul of Fiz de Cotovelo, damned to follow the procession of spirits; and of the D'Abondo family, the lords and ladies of the parroquia, among other characters.
