Las llaves de la independencia
—

Lázaro Expósito is a young revolutionary in mid-nineteenth century Mexico. This story tells us the life of a boy who, from his very birth, is adopted by Javier Artal a member of a Spanish landowning family but within this family he is repudiated by his father’s elder brother because of his race and origin. This fact will mark him as he grows up in a comfortable environment although he is aware he does not really form part of it. The continuous in-and-outs of the story allow us to get to know Lázaro who is strong in fighting and tender in love but who will never get to know his true origins. The story takes place on an estate run-down from constant fighting which was the famous Artal Brothers Estate before the war. They arrived with their wives from Spain and their descendants were already born on the other side of the Atlantic.

Bernabe (José Sacristán) works as an artistic director for a publicity firm but his avocation is fawning after his bosses, sleeping with whomever might advance his career, and ignoring his wife. Life continues on in this vein until he meets a young model whom he invites up to his boss's temporarily vacant country house, pretending the house belongs to him. Not very far away, bulldozers and other machinery are clearing the beautifully wooded area so construction can start on an amusement park. Little does Bernabe realize that his potential new conquest is a seriously fanatical environmental advocate, and she arrives at the house with friends, gets Bernabe high and "out of it," and then she and her friends proceed to trash the construction machinery. Once Bernabe comes around again, he finds out what has happened, loses heart for his planned sexual escapade, and begins to appreciate his wife for the first time.
