In this episodic dramatic comedy Francella plays a whopping 16 different characters which “will confront conflicts reflecting the invisible pressure under which we live in a modern-day megalopolis,” said Cohn and Duprat. “The film presents a panorama of our ‘national being’ in a scathing and sarcastic but at the same time reflexive tone. Argentina is a country of immigrants, whose character is a sum of different origins and nationalities: Millions of Europeans came and mixed with Native Argentinians, creating a powerful and singular idiosyncrasy,” they added.
