Description:
Las Piedras, beaching port. There are hundreds
of them, coming from who knows where, to forget the impasse of their existence
in the tropics. For a handful of dollars, these low-rankers are ready to do

dilapidated truck, to transport nitroglycerin. At the slightest deviation, at
the slightest shock, it is death. An epic of pure anguish...
