Las Cenizas de Buñuel

Where are the ashes of Luis Buñuel? It sounds like the title of a surrealist film. In fact, this has been a mystery for the past 21 years. The director died, on July 29 1983, as he had hoped: fully conscious of what was happening. "I am dying," he said to his wife, Jeanne Rucar, who was sitting beside his hospital bed. Seconds later she felt his pulse fade away and stop.
