Aldo Francia

Assigned to South America, US official Philip Michael Santore is employed by a counterinsurgency agency. His position makes him a target for a local band of guerrillas, and, before long, Santore is kidnapped. As a prisoner, he undergoes interrogation, shedding light on the violent situation in the country. Once the insurgents are done with their questioning, they must decide whether Santore lives or dies.

Unfinished film made by Aldo Francia in 1966. It tells the story of a solitary subject who walks the streets of Valparaíso.

Many socially-concerned priests in Catholic Latin America have at some time left their parish churches to go and work in the fields and factories of the poor. Such priests, usually adherents of "liberation theology," are called "worker-priests." This Chilean film tells the story of how one man became a "worker-priest" and won the trust of the poor.

Anthropological record with aspects of this festival, when it did not yet have the subsequent production levels.

A story inspired by real events that took place in the port of Valparaiso. Four poor children have been abandoned because their father, who is out of work, steals cattle to feed them and the police have arrested him. The story takes up the children's point of view and is structured in four episodes that describe their inevitable descent into the world of marginality and crime. Faced with life in a brutal way, from their problematic social situation, they head towards a marginality that is difficult to avoid.
