Plot: It is vox populi that this film was used as a method of propaganda to exalt the terrifying military dictatorship in Argentina, it only goes to show that this government was trying to hide all the blood they shed under a carpet of "good" values and a treacherous exaltation of religion and family tradition.It really has no plot, only a series of unrelated chasing scenes and awful, terrible jokes that would make anyone feel embarassed (With Carlitos Bala as the comic relief), and many scenes of policemen perfoming stunts and showing off their discipline.What's most creepy about this movie is that it was released during winter recess and was aimed at a juvenile audience (mostly children). Those children are now adults and of course they were highly influenced by that dark historical period.To sum up, this is only interesting as a piece of history and nothing more.
