A group of six boys invite young Alejandro to masturbate with them on a beach. The boys act and talk as if they are really masturbating but in keeping with the surreal film they are fully clothed and holding pieces of wood. They tease the Jewish Alejandro for having a “penis” which is different to theirs, leaving him in tears.
Young Alejandro’s father tries to toughen him up by tickling him on his bare feet, chest, underarms and nostrils with a feather and forbidding him to laugh. He then slaps the boy in the face until he loses a tooth.
