Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Sometime in 1974, handyman Jose Luis Cerveto savagely murdered his employers by repeatedly stabbing them. In this fascinating Spanish documentary, the surprisingly intelligent and articulate Cerveto recounts in detail his life history and the circumstances of the murder. He is shown to have been an orphaned at an early age and plagued by psychological and sexual problems that seem to have contributed to his crime.
