Lázaro de Tormes
Lázaro de Tormes is a 2001 Spanish comedy film directed by Fernando Fernán Gómez and José Luis García Sánchez which stars Rafael Álvarez "El Brujo" as the title character. Plot 
Set in the 16th century, the plot concerns about a trial on an adult Lázaro in Toledo. As part of his defence, the character goes on to tell the jury the story of his life (displayed through flashbacks). Rather than Lázaro's ability to persuade the folks, he is "saved" by the deus ex machina arrival of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V to the city. Cast

Production 
Written by Fernando Fernán Gómez, the screenplay is an adaptation of a stage monologue (based in turn on the early modern work). It was initially helmed by Fernando Fernán Gómez, but José Luis García Sánchez took over direction duties and completed the film in the wake of Fernán Gómez's illness during production. Shooting locations included Lupiana and Atienza (province of Guadalajara); Talamanca de Jarama (Madrid region) and Toledo. Release 
The film was theatrically released on 19 January 2001. Accolades
