Wikipedia article'The Lost Paradise' is a 1985 Spanish film directed by Basilio Martn Patino. It stars Charo Lpez alongside Alfredo Landa, Juan Diego, Miguel Narros, Ana Torrent and Paco Rabal. PlotA unnamed mature woman, daughter of a Spanish Republican exiled lecturer, returns to her parents' country, where she meets a number of people from her past, including Miguel, Benito, Lorenzo and an unnamed Socialist politician. She translates Hlderlin's 'Hyperion' in the family house. The film, an expression of the disenchantment experienced after the Spanish transition, underpins a criticism to the transition itself and the so-called 'pacto del olvido'.

Receptionngel Fernndez-Santos of 'El Pas', considered 'The Lost Paradise' to be a "prodigiously assembled" film, to which the camera of Alcaine "bordering on the sublime" and the musical score's intensity and coupling add up, filling it "with rare beauty", while noting that it featured a couple of events (two additions of "foreign coarseness") totally out of place.
