This is competently made but inconsequential; the period sets and costumes are ultimately more convincing than the characters inhabiting them. Go to Full Review

01/15/2014 An Argentinian film that might as well have been a silent film. Not a lot happens.

De aspecto gracioso, diferente, no encaja en una Argentina de principios de siglo XX, pero aun asi se casa por obligacion. Su interior se explora a traves de hermosas secuencias de animacion, muy al contrario de su constante reticencia a ser fotografiada en las formaciones familiares.
