"El Héroe De Cascorro" is a peculiar Spanish silent film, a bizarre fact in itself for a country's film industry scarce in interest or remarkable oeuvres. The film depicts the true, but dramatized, story of the brave Spanish soldier, Herr Eloy Gonzalo, rewarded during the Cuban war for his bravery defending the Spanish army position at Cascorro village.

Cinematic adaptation of the zarzuela (the Spanish lyric-dramatic genre) of the same title, directed by Florián Rey. Performed by Carmen Viance, José Nieto and Marina Torres. It was one of the biggest blockbusters of the Spanish silents and takes place in times of the Cuban war.

The tutor of Carmiña, is opposed to his marriage with Martino, who falls in love with a millionaire. Carmiña is seduced by the Count of Vindey and then tries to commit suicide.
