Summary

The film centers on a town in Santiago, where Juan Luis Godoy, a worker who dabbles in literature, has a verbal confrontation with a novelist (Waldo Rojas) who, representing Editorial Quimantú, has gone to propose to the villagers a literary workshop where they would study Georg Lukács, socialist realism, superstructure and class consciousness, among other theoretical issues. Godoy, for whom the important thing is not the technique but the creation, discusses this offer but, in the end, the project is approved.
