Lost 1897 film in which two men argue over the affection of a woman in a café, with their discussion escalating into a fistfight.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The 1952 reconstruction builds upon the scant historical record, attempting to materialize a lost cinematic ghost. It constructs a primal drama of jealousy and violence that would become a foundational archetype.
What lingers after viewing is a palpable sense of absence and a meditation on the fragility of early film heritage, where a nation's first fiction survives only as an echo. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Fructuós Gelabert

As a historical artifact, viewed in contemplative silence.
