Overview

This film did not make it past the editing process in 1953. It was released four decades later in 1993. Although specialists do not agree on the reason, it's likely that the movie's bitter tone and deviation from the dominant, uplifting DivEdCo narrative were the main reasons. Notable for its portrayal of "El Fanguito," a San Juan urban slum, and of country-city emigration at the dawn of Operation Bootstrap.
