Sinopsis
(All Movie Guide)
The apparent ease with which Argentina's political
situation could degrade into extremists killing each other is illustrated in
this interesting fictional allusion to historical reality. Suprino (Hector
Bidonde), a local Peronist boss in the small town of Colonia Vela, schemes
with the county mayor and a union leader to get the deputy mayor Fuentes (Federico
Luppi) out of power - even though the Peronist is indebted to Fuentes.
Fuentes is told that he has to fire his assistant because of the assistant's
leftist sympathies - and he refuses. That evokes a harsh response from Suprino
(the Peronist), who now has the police chief intervene for him. But Fuentes,
rather than cave in to pressure, barricades his office, lines up men to stand
by him, and gets ready for the first police assault. Leftist students then
kidnap the police chief demanding that the attack on Fuentes stop - but their
actions only serve to escalate the now raging conflict into a minor civil war.
In the end, the film makes it clear that survival may be the only criterion
determining who wins - which creates a village of losers, including the
political process.
