An aborted elopement and a beggar’s murder embroil Álvaro in a false accusation, forcing Lina to choose between her reputation and the truth. The film culminates in vindication and marriage. Beyond its melodramatic plot, the film showcases Antioquia’s landscapes, industries, and urban modernity as part of a romantic drama of manners. --- Background: Financed and produced by Medellín entrepreneur Gonzalo Mejía—who founded the Compañía Filmadora de Medellín for the project—the film was directed by Bogotá dramatist-filmmaker Arturo Acevedo. Cast largely from Medellín’s elite, it emphasized regional images over social critique. Long preserved and later restored by the Fundación Patrimonio Fílmico Colombiano, the work underwent a major restoration in the late 1990s and a digital restoration in 2018. --- Trivia: The premiere took place on August 6, 1925, with screenings at the Junín, Bolívar, and Circo España theaters in Medellín. Cinematography was by Gonzalo Acevedo Bernal. The film was the first title restored by the Fundación Patrimonio Fílmico Colombiano. A historic house now home to the theater group El Águila Descalza served as a filming location in 1925. Distribution was handled by the Compañía Filmadora de Medellín. --- Public Domain / Rights: Original Release: August 6, 1925. Original Studio / Distributor: Compañía Filmadora de Medellín.
