Synopsis
Santiago, an intense 23-year old young man trained for nothing but fighting, finds himself back in normal life after service in the army. His wife is at the point of leaving him, his family want to keep him at a distance. With a large chip on his shoulder, he is frustrated in his desires to get an education while his old comrades try to persuade him to join them in their dream of robbing banks. Abandoned by his wife, he finally and hesitantly begins to move towards a new relationship, but things spin wildly out of control when his violent brother's girl-friend starts making seductive overtures and pleads with him to kill her lover. It seems there is no escape from the cycle of violence once it has begun, in spite of his best intentions.
