It's a hostile world into a lifeless time, the idea of morality, however, can not drive out completely. "The dead from Plaza Once" tells the story of Argentina's military dictatorship, torture, pervasive terror of the junta's henchmen but by sound only as a background theme, as ugly tune. Ernesto Mallo's main focus is rather on any type of excess which inevitably leads to disaster. Parabolic confinement his gaze focuses on the madness of emotions and instincts, a look that about lust, especially reflects on the resulting truck. A Comisario who is called to two bodies, but finds three murdered and for political reasons should be determined not better, is facing a dilemma. Especially since it grants a resistance fighter hiding that he encounters in the image of his deceased wife. A friend who can not alleviate the grief, to the past wealth of the past, excessive debt and a money lender, cuckolded husbands and energetic machos greedily caught in a struggle for survival under an inhuman regime. Many, in stylish, however formulaic classic scenes and cast images sometimes slow clumsy dialogue portray the mystery of life - forced conformity, vicious desire, unbridled madness collide as reality and sheds contradict each other. Mallo moved by the view like a fragile glass cloudy, very sober, a little voluptuous. Sadness in the refill.
