Coronación
Silvio Caiozzi
Julio Jung, Boris Quercia
The elderly heir of a formerly wealthy and respected Chilean family, Andres, suffers from decadence and solitude. He hires young Estela in order to look after his tiranic and almost crazy grandmother. The differences in class and age don't stop Andres from courting Estela, whose fiancé Mario tries to make some money with the passions of his well-off rival. The suffocating atmosphere of the run-down mansion in the outskirts of Santiago represents the deterioration of the bourgeoisie, and sets the scene for the total collapse of Andres.

Nemesio Antúnez, Marcial Edwards
A film made "to contribute to the internal debate of the Socialist Party" as Ruiz himself recalls, showing how a right-wing publicist is radicalizing himself to become a fervent left-wing activist, and a worker that makes the opposite journey, going from the hard left to absolute rightism.
