Three middle-aged men, veteran Falangists, reunite in a provincial village of Castile, spending a hot summer’s day drinking, reminiscing and hunting rabbits. José, who instigates the hunt, is in debt because of an impending divorce and is living beyond his means with a younger woman. His main objective is to secure a loan from Paco, a shrewd businessman, also unhappily in love and looking for younger women. Paco brings with him Luis, employed at his factory, a weak, forlorn individual, an alcoholic addicted to wine, women and science fiction rather than social conviviality or male camaraderie. Enrique, a teenage relative of Paco’s, comes along for the thrill of the rabbit hunt. (Venice International Film Festival)
