It's the 1960s. Woodstock consummates the ''flower power'' generation and U.S. Congress witnesses an all-time high in protest marches. But things were a little different in Ecuador with a strict military discipline and a much more violent clash of political parties. This is where we find Galo Galvez, a charismatic Communist Party leader whose life luster is not deterred by his inability to walk. However, his party is narrowminded, and one probably can't even cut the bureaucracy with a Ginsu knife. To confound things, Galo's fiancee, Margamaria, defines their relationship by control.
