...taught to think in English." The film seeks to expose the material basis of this daily violence against the Latin American's dignity, national pride; and ability to survive by attacking the appearances the system tries to maintain. It attacks the dehumanizing term invented by the imperialists to mask and justify their activities: "Underdevelopment" (subdesarroyo), which, translated into reality, means "a forced Dependence...

Marcello (lean-Louis Trintignant), the film's protagonist, is a rigidly "normal" young man who marries and joins the Fascists for the same reason-to conform. His passion for convention is the ill-fitting mask he wears to cover his own moral corruption. While he was a young boy, he was the victim of an attempted seduction by the family chauffeur (Pierre Clementi); Marcello killed the chauffeur accidentally while playing with a pistol. Marcello has passed the rest of his life trying to stifle the image...
