When an old soldier suicides, Esteban, who was his brother in arms during the war at the Islas Malvinas (aka Falkland Islands) starts to remember the horror they lived together when they were young.
This is the story of that war seen through the eyes of a young boy who wasn´t prepared to be in hell. It´s a hard punch that hurts for being so faithful to what really happened to all those young men who were thrown into action without arms, shoes or even food.
A true historical masterpiece that will make you think about this dark episode even long after the movie is ended. Cos this is not only their story, it´s our story too and what it means to be Argentinian.

An acid comedy about the family that has become a timeless classic.
Mama Cora (played by Antonio Gasalla) is an old woman whose mind is working against her. This makes her so annoying that no one in the family wants to take care of her. This responsibility falls over a poor woman, hated by the rest of the family for being a good person. That´s because they are such bad people that they can´t stand each other, they just act like they love each other. ¿Any resemblance with reality?
Watch this movie and your body will hurt from laughing. But be careful, you might realize that you´re laughing at yourself!!!!!!
This comedy is acid to the bone.
