Synopsis "Gente que Llama a la Puerta (in Spanish)"

Una  cida denuncia de la demencia de quienes utilizan aDios para manipular a los hombres.

Los Alderman,un matrimonio de clase media con dos hijos, Arthur y Robbie, residenen una peque¤a ciudad de Indiana, donde llevan una vida confortable ymon¢tona.

Arthur, un joven estudiante de diecisiete a¤os, hadejado embarazada a su novia Maggie, que cuenta con unos padrescomprensivos y decide abortar sin m s alharacas. Sin embargo, el padre de Arthur, a ra¡z de la curaci¢n de su hijo menor Robbie, que estimamilagrosa, se ha conver­tido a la secta religiosa de los cristianosrenacidos y se opone rotunda­mente al aborto, con lo que se crea unasituaci¢n insostenible.

La atm¢sfera de creciente fanatismoreligioso, la lenta invasi¢n del hogar de los Alderman por una genteque llama a la puerta ofreciendo sus fo­lletos para una vida mejor,los esfuerzos del padre para llevar a su familia por la senda del®bien¯, el triunfo de la hipocres¡a, la conversi¢n del enig­m tico eintrovertido Robbie: todos esos elementos segregan un clima ominoso ysiniestro, donde se espera que algo horrible acabe porsuceder.

Nadie mejor que Patricia Highsmith sabr¡a evocar ellento deslizamien­to de un vago malestar hacia la tragedia y denunciar con tanta acidez la demencia de quienes utilizan a Dios paramanipular a los hombres.
