Felipe Cazals wrote and directed the 1968 Mexican film The apple of discord. It was shown in the Red Salon of the National Cinema. In 1969 she was the winner of the International Film Award for Author. The feature film that catapulted Felipe Cazals to fame was the first film he made. The story of three German fugitives in Latin America is told in Serra's original script. The Federal District and La Marquesa were where he filmed for two weeks. The director's raptures led her to follow different paths, even though they tried to stick to the script.
