In the 1920s, workers in the far southern province of Argentina went on strike for better working and living conditions. In this film, the story of that strike is depicted. The military commander sent to investigate decides that the strikers' complaints are justified, and he signs an agreement with them. As soon as he leaves, the industrialists and landowners ignore the agreement. When the workers strike again, the owners convince the government that this strike has been caused by the subversive action of the Chilean government, and the strikers are massacred. Only after the tragedy does the military commander realize that he has been duped. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Shocked into lethargy by the suicide death of her friend, Fina, an aristocratic Argentine now casts a critical eye on the activities she used to enjoy. Cocktail parties, polo matches, and dinner parties pall. However, her eye is agreeably drawn to a virile young artist, who soon thereafter becomes her lover. Her mother is shocked by her behavior, while her husband simply shrugs it off. Fina wants something more out of life than luxury, and she leaves her elegant family home to live with the young man in his poor surroundings. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

This gang-directed feature deals with three stories of love. Argentina's Rodolfo Kuhn tells the story of a Buenos Aires man who backs out of his marriage the night before the ceremony. From Brazilian director Eduardo Coutinho is the tale of a young teenage couple. She agrees to sleep with the boy providing he agrees to join her in a suicide pact where both take poison. Helvio Soto from Chile presents a story that though influenced by Federico Fellini cannot hold a candle to the great director's work. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
