Nobody's Ass

In the mountain jungle of a Latin American country, where poverty and a history of oppression has blighted the landscape, Luis, a charcoal burner, terrorises the village of Rio Lejos. His cruelty and sudden violence is legendary, so when Hector, the shopkeeper, sees him coming, there is nothing for it but to caress his machete beneath the counter. Realising that not being beaten is a kind of victory on its own, he is forced to part with a parrot whose skill at imitating human speech is legendary.
