Plot

In 1948 Venezuela three children are born on the same day, all named Victorino were born. One is a poor mulatto, Victorino Perez; the second is Victorino Perdomo, from a middle class communist family; and the third is Victorino Peralta, of society's upper echelons.[2]

Eighteen years later, the three are living very different lives. Perez is in and out of prison and violent situations from childhood; Perdomo falls from middle-class grace as communism is rejected; Peralta spends much of his time surrounded by luxury and many women, ensconced in the same violence as the other Victorinos but never getting in trouble. However, all three die young: Perez shot when running from police, Perdomo tortured by enemies, and Peralta crashed his car dreaming of being a boy racer.
