Synopsis

Anastasio, a.k.a. "El Pollo" (The Chicken), narrates to a gaucho named Laguna the performance of the opera Faust, which he has just seen on a representation at a Buenos Aires theatre. Suddenly real life and fiction intersperse, with Anastasio imagining a similar story in La Pampa, while assuming the personality of the protagonist at the moment when the character signs his pact with the Devil.
