Más allá de la violencia

The young pacifist Claudio is saddened to see some children playing war. He goes with a group of rebels who make fun of him and invite him to participate in a motorcycle race where the prize is a girl. Ál wins the race with the help of Rafael, the head of the band, and decides to buy to join the group, on a trip they meet with some hippies led by a psychologist who opposes drugs. Two of the gang members, Gabriel and Bernardo, attack one of the girls; the hippies in revenge violate Mimi and sa Julia, for which Bernardo kills a hippie. Claudio fights with him but Mimi intervenes and receives a stab aimed at Claudio. Ál recalls that Rafael was a brother and a lover of her. The police arrest the hippies and scold the parents for the behavior of the young people.

Directed by Alfonso Corona Blake, Más allá de la violencia leans on a strong ensemble — Valentín Trujillo, Alma Muriel, July Furlong — 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 action titles of 1971.
