In Luis Buñuel’s film, Death in the Garden (La Mort en ce Jardin, 1956), the theme revolves around transnationalism and survival. The term, transnational, refers to cultural, political, and economic ties beyond national borders. A rebellion in the small mining town forces a group of individuals to flee into the Amazon jungle. Given its early themes of exploitation and insurrection, the film seems highly political, then converts into more about human nature and how individuals behave when they are no longer a part of a society. The narration depicts the relationships between individuals from various nations and backgrounds who are forcibly tied together for the sake of survival. Hunger, extreme heat, and a slow deterioration of morality and ethics—no longer are there uniforms, and rules are presented. When morality and ethics are stripped away, humans revert to their instinctual drive for survival. One where humans inherit from ancient history, and innate drives are primarily focused on seeking food, escaping, and avoiding any danger. The diamonds that were once of great value to Djin soon became an item of disgust, as they reminded her of Castin. Castin loses his sanity and hope for the restaurant in France as things become difficult. He believed God abandoned them as they struggled to find food and shelter. Meanwhile, Father Lizardi struggles to keep his faith in God over the need to survive; this is illustrated when Shark was trying to keep the fire from dying.
