The victims who will be put to death are tied up in the bathroom.

The victims are crouched on the floor of a large hall. Their heads are on the floor under white towels so their identities are disguised. Their asses are pointing into the air so they can be inspected by the fascists. The fascists walk up and down the line, peering at the backsides, sometimes shining a torch into them for a better view. Franco is chosen as the winner and is told his prize his being killed. A gun is put to his temple and the trigger pulled but it is a joke.

The victims all attend a banquet where the only food is feces, which they are forced to eat.

The victims are treated like dogs. Naked, on all-fours and on leads attached to their necks, they are walked up stairs into a hall. The dignitaries throw them food, which they jump up and catch in their mouths. Lamberto refuses to eat like a dog and is whipped by His excellency. He tries to flee but is whipped unconscious. Some of the food is laced with nails, making their mouths bleed.

The guards open the back door of the bus, which is parked hanging over a steep gravel slope. Each of the naked boys is thrown out of the bus and sent tumbling down the slope. Some slide down on their fronts or backs, others roll head-over-heels. Some crash into rocks. It is mainly filmed from below in slow motion with the boys rolling towards the camera, or from the back door, showing them being forced out. The young actors appear to have performed their own stunts. Full nudity is shown throughout, although as the scene is set at dawn and it is raining, the views are dark.

In a flashback scene the main character recalls being caught stealing and is stripped to the waist, put over a bed, and whipped on his bare back by his grandfather as punishment. Only the first hit is shown before the camera shows other locals wincing at the boy’s cries.

A group of boys are taken from a juvenile prison in a bus. When they arrive at their destination armed guards on the bus force them to strip naked, which they do in their seats.

As punishment the boy’s mother ties him to a tree, beats him with a stick and paints the words of a song over his face and body.
