The Bricklayers
(Los albañiles)

by Jorge FONS

Don Jésus, a guard at a building site, is mur- dered. An investigation is under way to find out who the murderer is. During interrogations, the policemen torture the suspected masons; their work relationships and conditions are uncovered and we learn that the guard had raped a young woman. We also hear about the scheming of the building site manager who is in collusion with a young architect, himself the son of the head of the building project, as well as about the latter’s shady family life.
