In this research, we will start by expo-sing the paradox of 'surplus enjoyment' (the Lacanian plus-de-jouir), showing that its parallax structure of lack and excess is also applicable to the pheno-menon of (surplus) repression. Linking his concept with the Hegelian Aufhe-bung, understood as a 'failed negation of negation' or a 'negation of negation' as failure, we will focus in detail on the central example illustrating our theore-tical positions, which is Iciar Bollain's film Tambien la Lluvia (Even the Rain). In analyzing its narrative structures that address the neocolonial reality, we will tend to approach indirectly, by reading the medium of cinematic narration, the 'neocolonial question.'
