    Unfolds leisurely, in anecdotal style, with deadpan humor and a sense of the absurd.

    Trapero again proves himself a master of mood, evoking the gritty, workaday world of contemporary Argentina that helped establish him as one of the most important young directors of the new Argentine cinema.
