Machuca
Santiago, capital of Chile during the Marxist government of president Salvador Allende that is elected contentious. Father McEnroe affirms his leftist views by introducing a program at the prestigious"collegio" (Catholic prep school) St. Patrick allowing free entrance of a few proletarian kiddies. One of them is slum-raised son of this cleaning lady at the liberal-bourgeois home of Gonzalo Infante, Pedro Machuca. Yet the classmates turned into buddies, as Gonzalo gets paradoxically protesting embraced by gang and Pedro's slum family. But that is not spoilt by the adults perhaps not in the very least when general Pinochet's coup ousts supporters such as McEnroe, also Allende.
