Brunoel's 1950 film about troubled teenagers in Mexico. The film not only shows their "problems", but also highlights some of the reasons behind the problems, which in turn bring out the general confusion faced by the poor in Mexico at the time. The movie also describes the kindness in the hearts of several children under the label of "gangsters", implying that their evil actually has a lot of involuntary factors, and if the external society can give more kindness, it may bring those children. More life - this is the didactic part of the film, but its tragic ending largely erases that sermon. (Towel City)
