In the heart of Navarra, in the Valdorba mountains, a small town survives depopulation by coping with everyday problems. A mare farmer, Jaime, has just acquired an animal with which he wants to breed and grow the herd, but shortly after the mare enters his stable, he falls ill with an infection in one of its legs that seems to be neither recent nor reversible. Sara, the valley vet, can only advise Jaime to sacrifice the animal; a discouraging situation that complicates his already difficult situation at home with his dependent wife of years. A situation that will become overwhelming and unbreathable for Jaime in a constant moral dilemma.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
