Synopsis

A militant union leader plans to squeeze the corrupt demolition firm that he works for by staging a fake accident with a friend. But their scheme backfires when the accident goes wrong and the friend is killed.

Desperate to prove the firm’s negligence, he is forced into taking drastic action. A typically uncompromising social-issue feature from an Argentinian filmmaker who served his apprenticeship in the 60s as assistant director to Sergio Leone. —Channel 4
