Entre Marx y una Mujer Desnuda
En los años 60 la juventud pensaba que podía cambiar el mundo. Por lo menos en ciertas partes del mundo. No precisamente en Quito, Ecuador, en cuya época ocurre la acción de Entre Marx y una mujer desnuda, donde cuatro personajes, Galo Gálvez (Arístides Vargas), su prometida Margaramaría, el Autor y Rosana se descuartizan en una de esas batallas entre sexo y política a las que nos tenía acostumbrados Lina Wertmüller. Galo es un intelectual brillante, hombre de acción que pasa sus días en silla de ruedas, compartiendo con Margaramaría una contradictoria relación, entre su disciplina de militantes partidistas, la hemiplejía de Gálvez y su necesidad de amar. Ella y el Autor, el mejor amigo de Galo, son también miembros del Partido. Al Autor le llaman así por su empeño en escribir la historia de sus vidas. El Autor manifiesta la crisis de identidad del intelectual ecuatoriano, desgarrado entre sus lazos culturales con Europa y sus raíces americanas.
