Some obsessions are OK, but if your obsession, at 52 years old, is to be the Tony Manero (Saturday Night Fever) of Chile, then you might want to get a life.
Alfredo Castro is Raúl, a man obsessed with achieving his goal, and a man who lets nothing stand in his way. He is oblivious to the goings on in Pinochet's Chile.
He is also obvious to his girlfriend's (Amparo Noguera) attempts at intimacy. He is focused on one thing, and excludes all else.
A serial killer, and a thief, Raúl even takes his girlfriend's daughter (Paola Lattus) upstairs to have sex with her watching. It is as bizarre as the first sex scene. He just can't do things normally.
When he hears that Goyo (Héctor Morales) is going to compete against him, he defecates on his white suit.
It was a gritty film that shows the price of obsession, and the grim reality of the country of Chile under Pinochet, not in a documentary style, but fictionally.
