The film discusses the life of Saldaño, including his murder of a man and the resulting death sentence. Viarruel uses material from staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship and Saldaño's mother Lidia Guerrero; he was unable to acquire interview material from Saldaño himself.[1]

Viarruel is a journalist at Radio Nacional de Córdoba. The filmmaker stated: "La película asume la certeza de lo que es y cómo funciona el sistema judicial norteamericano para alguien latinoamericano y pobre como Saldaño" (The film takes on the certainty of the judicial system in then United States and how it works for someone from Latin America and poor like Saldaño).[1] He added that he wanted to obtain a better outcome for Saldaño, but not to exculpate him.[1]

Reception

Horacio Bilbao of Clarín wrote that the film was "Buena" (good).[2]

Pablo Suárez of the Buenos Aires Herald gave a negative review, arguing that it was uninteresting.[3]
