A successful and award-winning film of Argentinean nationality, actor Alberto de Mendoza plays the "boss" who rules over a small group of young delinquents who more or less idolise him...
Alberto de Mendoza used his talents to show what was characteristic of him: the cynical side that emanated from his character?

On this occasion, his well-known reputation as a cynical and arrogant man was extended by playing mafiosi, traitors and cowards and he uses powerful persuasion to control the will of people in a state of economic instability (in fact, they all committed crimes because they were innocent, so the "boss" forced them to commit crimes for his own benefit and personal enrichment). .
A film directed by Fernando Ayala, which offers a profound political critique through biting allegories.
In the film we can see a delightful, and very young, Graciela Borges, and the later very famous singer Leonardo Favio in the role of the young Marcelo.
In spite of the years that have passed, it still looks great. The reason: its splendid narrative that makes it an authentic jewel of the unrepeatable Argentinean film noir...
