An excellent Argentine film which reflects what could happens when law is applied without any common sense. A good and respected old man (Narciso Ibañez Menta) goes to prison (the processed 1040), because he cut off the neighbor's climbing plant.. There he meets the worst of the underworld. Crime surrounds him, he is forced to play a murder accomplice role without even understanding why this happens to him. But he receives miraculously the helping hand of a young face. This is the outstanding performance of the great Uruguayian actor Walter Vidarte (as the "zorrito"), a kind of fresh and shameless thieve who never had a Father and "adopts" and protects the old man. This is one of those films that i saw in my youth and can simply not forget.
