In 'Pedro y el Capitán', Mario Benedetti presents a tense dialogue between victim and executioner in an interrogation room. The work explores the psychology of a torturer, moving away from Manichaeism and delving into the ideological and moral differences that separate the characters. Benedetti raises a reflection on courage, cowardice, sacrifice, and freedom in a context of political repression.
