The conference is a split-level affair. One level is a big, propaganda-splashed meeting filled with speeches and mutual, comradely abrazos, and attended by Communists, leftists and other Castro friends, including the U.S.'s Stokely Carmichael and Folk Singer Barbara Dane.

...story concerns Peter, a comfortable 18-year-old, very upper-middle class really, but filled with rebellious contempt for the booboisie. He has no particular values of his own, so he resists the split-level syndrome by acts of petty delinquency. He cuts school, fights with his parents, puts on his sister's with fiance, short-changes customers on the job. With his girlfriend Julie he makes out, acts goofy, and has serious discussions about Life and Culture...
