About The Company Forgives a Moment of Madness
A skilled worker has a sudden nervous breakdown at the company for which he has been working for the last 20 years. He attacks the machines and smashes the windows. The company decides to have him undergo treatment with a well-known young psychiatrist. She will try to bring light the reasons for his behavior so he can adapt himself to his work once again.
Directed by Mauricio Walerstein, The Company Forgives a Moment of Madness leans on a strong ensemble — Simón Díaz, Eva Mondolfi, Rafael Briceño — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1978.
