CARMEN

  
Aranda, Vicente

  • EXTENDED SYNOPSIS

Durante un viaje por España, el azar convierte al escritor francés ProsperMerimée en testigo de una historia apasionante. La naturaleza libre yenigmática de una mujer llamada Carmen, su belleza meridional, su carácterarrebatado y pasional, hacen que el sargento José se convierta en víctima yprotagonista de acontecimientos extraordinarios, de amores turbulentos ypasiones incontrolables, en una cadena de fatalismo, celos y sangre.Con cada nuevo amante de Carmen, con cada nuevo episodio de amor, pasión ycelos, José da un paso hacia la marginalidad y la delincuencia. La muerte tiñeuna y otra vez de rojo las manos de José hasta que, finalmente, tras dispararcontra el último amante de Carmen, intenta llevársela lejos y empezar una nuevavida.Pero ni las súplicas ni las amenazas le sirven de nada. En vano se humillaráante Carmen, ofreciéndole una vida próspera y feliz. Las apasionadas palabrasde amor caen en el vacío y en la más terrible de las indiferencias. Y laimpotencia y la pasión empujan una vez más la mano de José hacia la navajadesnuda. ¿Qué otra cosa podía hacer?
