“I`m living a corpse in here, I have to live day by day… “ this is the phrase that reflects the most this movie, all its participants are living a life that they don`t want to have.  This move reflects some moments of these people lives that are not very nice, so they talk about their experiences and all that is involve. First its starts with Rodolfo`s life and he talks about how he started to be part of Porros an student`s organization that controls some schools and some of his ex-colleagues talk about Rodolfo`s development and how they managed a high position in an important students association and all the corruption that he had to face. Then is Maria Fernanda`s story, a crazy girl that use to have a lot of addictions and how  made her a non controlled girl; besides that she used to fight a lot with her ex boyfriend and all her additions together  with all her past and present issues made her to do a stupid decision. And finally its Alejandro`s narration, which is the most shocking because all the lies and all the thing that he start to say and how he change everything just because he is insane; and you can feel and see all his anger and rancor that is in him so just he knows the real reasons for his miserable act.

This is one of the most interesting documentals that I ever seen; I mean is not just another vague investigation it is a real investigation with real people and real lives that show how they could feel the different moments or aspects that enriched or scrubbed those experiences of their lives.  1973 it is a very good film to enjoy in a cold afternoon with a tasty coffee.
