Summary
Several South American children's movies with an unusual mix of content, from nude scenes to thought-provoking narratives, are discussed. The featured films include "Journey to an Unknown World" from Brazil, addressing robot invasions and rare flower theft, as well as "Oficio de Tinieblas" from Mexico centered on the resistance to land reforms in the 1930s. Another film, "Machuca" from Chile, delves into the violent overthrow of the Allende government and social divides, while "Los Rechazados" from Argentina presents a dystopian future and themes of love and rejection. Additionally, a brief mention is made of "Y Adan Y", a puzzling black-and-white film from Chile exploring themes of understanding and societal madness.
