¡Viva Benito Canales!

1966

Campesino with leadership qualities is indecisive about whether he should join the Revolution or concentrate on improving conditions at his farm, also about whether he cares about the nice girl he grew up with or the fancy woman who runs the local brothel. Most of his plot points don't come to a head until after the revolution's over, and then after General Huerta's coup.
