      Audience Member Excellent movie. It tells the true story of a strike in Santa Cruz, Argentine Patagonia, strictly adhering to reality. Brilliant performances by Hector Alterio, Pepe Soriano and Luis Brandoni. A classic of Argentine cinema, which was banned by the military dictatorship for a decade. The photograph and the script have a western aesthetic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie. Fantastic adaptation by Hector Olivera. A must-watch!
