DON'T COUNT ON US

Category: Edition 1978

Synopsis
Flute, having hit with the car Maria, a girl who is staggering, leads her home and, having become her lover, enters the world of drugs. In fact, around the woman gravitate: Robby, a singer-songwriter who is said to be addicted to escape from military service: Sara and her partner Pupo, a thief; Endy, a drug dealer who lives with Maria until she prefers Flute. The young man, by now linked to casual knowledge, tastes "robba" for love and curiosity; then he becomes a slave. At this point begins the tragedy of the daily drug research that some incidents do not interrupt: Pupo, wounded by Sara's father while he is stealing in his house, dies and is buried clandestinely by his friends; Flute reacts against Endy, and splits his mouth; Robby tries a hearing, but the drug takes him to the hospital and to death. Stopped by the police, Flute and Maria end up in jail. When they leave, she seems to be walking on the road to liberation; he still can not but hope for the future.
