Synopsis:
The surrealist film-maker Luis Bunuel delivered another satirical swipe at bourgeois conventions with his film about a group of dinner guests who find themselves trapped in a hell of their own making when, inexplicably, they are unable to leave the sitting room after a dinner party. One guest dies and is stuffed into a cupboard; a pair of lovers commit suicide; a witchcraft believer conjures up some demons; an incestuous brother and sister steal morphine from a guest dying of cancer, and they all degenerate into animals, showing their true natures.
