The Student

Having dropped out of college twice before, the charming but directionless Roque arrives in Buenos Aires to resume his studies. He is soon drawn into a divisive political militancy that sweeps the campus. His amorous pursuit of Paula, who is a radical party spokesperson, leads him to start working under the tutelage of the mercurial leftist professor Acevedo. Roque unwittingly gets involved in a campaign that will teach him that student politics, for all its idealism, may be no less vulnerable to corruption and disillusionment than those of the larger society.

This energetic story about love and politics provides entertaining drama, the implicit criticism of contemporary politics serves as an effective commentary for the world at large. Diana Sanchez

Después de haber dejado el colegio en dos ocasiones, Roque llega a Buenos Aires para cursar estudios universitarios y rápidamente se introduce en la militancia política. Al comenzar a enamorarse de Paula, quien es una portavoz radical de un partido, lo lleva a él a estar bajo la tutela del izquierdista profesor de nombre Acevedo. Sin quererlo, Roque se ve envuelto en una campaña que le enseñará, que las políticas estudiantiles, a pesar de todo su idealismo, no son menos vulnerables a la corrupción que las políticas practicadas en la sociedad en general.
