巴塞罗那。圣胡安狂欢节之夜。外号叫“痞猴”的偷车贼马诺洛Manolo（安赫尔·阿尔卡萨饰）是个无赖，他西装革履，偷了辆摩托车混进一处正在举行圣胡安节露天酒会的富人别墅，结识了一个长得象安达卢西亚人的加泰罗尼亚女孩玛露哈Maruja（帕特里夏·阿德里亚尼饰），遂将她认作名门闺秀与她幽会。可是，当有女孩暗恋着他并且也有女友的马诺洛得知玛露哈只是这个富人塞拉特家的女仆而非他心目中的“好女孩”时，他竟大发雷霆，抡起巴掌扇她耳光并辱骂她。玛露哈稍作自卫，只是说她从未欺骗过他。随着时光流逝，马诺洛接受了玛露哈不是富家小姐的事实，逐渐爱上了她，虽然他不愿意承认这一点，他自圆其说是冲着玛露哈的身材而与她保持情侣关系。此后每个夜晚马诺洛都去她的房间，逐渐了解了玛露哈在塞拉特家的具体工作。他发现玛露哈和这家的小姐特蕾莎Teresa（玛丽薇尔·马丁饰）是闺中密友。

本片是70年代西班牙的一部经典纪录片。1974年，一个居住在巴塞罗那Pedralbes区的年轻人José Luis Cerveto残忍地谋杀了他的两个有钱的雇主夫妇，这个案子在当时的西班牙引起过巨大影响，但直到弗朗哥死后才得以最终宣判30年监禁。影片拍自被关进监狱后的Cerveto，并深入剖析一个曾经善良的孩子如何变成一头残忍的野兽的过程，以此来控诉独裁体制带给西班牙社会的变态和压抑。 EL ASESINO DE PEDRALBES (The murderer of Pedralbes) is a documentary about José Luis Cerveto, who murdered in 1974 the rich owners of the house where he worked (in Pedralbes, a zone from Barcelona), husband and wife and was immediately convicted to death but after Franco's death, finally condemned to prison for 30 years. The film is an excellent job, featuring a long interview with Cerveto, those who knew him as a child and as a teenager, his lawyer and some psychologists and doctors. You can see perfectly the background of such a man and the reasons of that horrible crime (hard infancy, pedophile tendencies, intelligence but evident psychological problems,...), everything shown (and there lies the greatness of the film) from the pure objectivity: the documentary doesn't judge Cerveto and his acts. It shows the murderer, his reasons, his behavior, his past and the time and place when he committed the murders (Spain late 70's, where homosexuality was still a crime and things were very different regarding justice). EL ASESINO DE PEDRALBES is a hard movie, not for all tastes, but a brave and magnificent one, between the best spanish films of the 70's.
