Las calles negras (1971)
THE BLACK STREETS (Original in Spanish: LAS CALLES NEGRAS) A professional, hardworking and successful man who lives in a large city begins to feel the weight of overpopulation, pollution, marketing, smoking, water shortages, social inequalities, abuses of political and ecclesiastical power, homeless people living in dumpsters, and invalids crawling in the streets showing their deformities for charity. He realizes the social injustices in which he lives and begins to feel alone and abandoned, like the helpless dogs that are trapped in the central ridges of the expressways: nobody is interested or concerned about their fate. In this world full of injustice in its obsession with industrialization and the desire to achieve modernity, the man sinks into depression and alcoholism. Wandering through the streets of the city, without direction or purpose, he finds a rich and eccentric woman who invites him to get into her car. She takes him to her home to have fun and drink alcohol. She also feels empty about her life, pulling out a gun to kill the repugnant man. However, realizing the depths of her own despair, she changes her mind and shoots herself in the head. Her bloody body falls on him. Terrorized, he throws her aside and runs away. Wandering through the streets at dawn and in the cold, he witnesses an indifferent motorist hit a helpless dog. This terrorizes him and triggers a series of hallucinations in which he sees the bloody face of the woman and himself being dragged in chains through the rubble beneath a burning dog hanging from a rope and swinging back and forth like a pendulum. The hallucinations make him realize that he is just like one of the dogs, a being that does not matter and that lives within a huge mass of indifferent people. He shakes free from the chains and runs desperately away from city that oppresses him. In the countryside, he collapses from exhaustion and rolls on the ground in despair, feeling totally lost and depressed. At the light of dawn, a small girl brings him bread, making him feel that there is a new dawn, that all is not lost and that there may be hope.
