This is an Argentinian noir film from the 1950s, in which the main villain is being pursued for a hit and run car accident that killed a child. Everyone acknowledges that he is a beast but does not try to stop his active verbal and physical abuse of his wife and child. He is openly having an affair with another woman, but is pursuing his wife's sister as well. She is not interested but he still gropes her, and in several scenes he grabs and attempts to kiss her. There is also a scene where we see him take off his belt to start attacking his wife, but that is not shown on-screen.
