Explanation:

The story of Hernando Tellez's "Lather and Nothing Else" begins with a slow rhythm showing a man who belongs to a political party arriving at a barbershop, sitting in the chair to shave and starting an unpretentious conversation with the barber.  In this conversation the man exposes the cruel and barbaric form that he treats the revolutionaries, who are a group of people who do not agree with the political ideas of the man's party.

At that moment the story takes on a more rapid pace because the barber is one of these revolutionaries and begins to enter into an internal conflict where he does not know if he should kill that man and be seen as a hero by his fellow revolutionaries or kill the man turn a killer like him.
