Matar a un hombre

Alejandro Fernández Almendras

Chile

Jorge is a hard working family man, who lives with his wife and two of his three sons. He earns just enough to cover their basic necessities. One afternoon, when Jorge is coming home from work, Kalule, a well-known delinquent from his neighborhood, mugs him. Jorge doesn´t get hurt in the incident, but his older son decides to confront Kalule and recover the little he took. When Kalule sees himself attacked, he shoots Jorge´s son, who nearly dies. When the police arrive, they arrest Kalule, but his sentence is just 2 years in prison. When Kalule got out, he starts to terrorize Jorge´s Family. They go to the police for help, but don´t get anything, so they decide to take justice in their own hands.
