Third story play “El Chivo and Maru” starts Emilio Echeverria and Lourdes Echeverria, in the story el chivo was a private school teacher, who had become involving in the Guerrilla movement that gives him to be in jailed for 20 years.

 In the film he was like a homeless, who live with dogs which he rescued, but also he was take care Octavio’s dog which gives problems too because he was kills the rest of the dogs, El chivo has. Also the chivo was trying to meet his daughter whom he believes he was abandoned, who named Maru, and by the time he also it was almost trying to kills the two haft brothers, too, but he was change his mind but he get the money.

The theme, pure much in this film it was violent because the three stories they are about violence. But is good film because has tension may be action and romance. Also have a lot of conflicts, which is great for any film. In my opinion is a great film but is not my favorite, because for me I don’t like violence especially kills animals.
