Plot



A series of Vignettes that begin at the Civil War and end at the Spanish Economic Miracle

is interwoven with 2 separate abstractions

# Seeking a Utopia in the Gilbert Islands

# A possible escape from the Social order to El "otro lado"

In Vignete 1 The train which is apparently going to Vizcaya? offers a

possible escape route (to France?)

In Vignette 2 We see an escape from the Oppressive Social Services

that want the change a family (from being hunter gatherers) to fit back into the

state sponsored social order.

Vignette 3 Focuses on a schoolroom in the 1950s and suggests that one can

learn more from daydreaming than following the dry logic of the schoolmaster

Vignette 4 at a Rapid Driving School perhaps makes fun of a girl who only

looks at the inside of a vehicle and gets a rude awakening when she glimpse the

outside of the car

Vignete 5 Deals with graffiti removal where the technicians have to think

long and loud about the political meanings to choose which graffiti they will remove and

which they will allow.
