    RICARDO A.

    Nice Argentinian-Spanish movie, with excellent song from Agustin Lara.. Good photography of the Argentinian mountains.

    Michael B.

    An aging professor loses his job and has to cope with the financial crisis in Argentina. While there is much humanity in this film, it too often strays into pretentiousness or sentimentality.

    Yes   |   No
