It is not widely known that Argentina, which is thought to have harbored many ex-Nazis (such as Josef Mengele), is also the home of a large and well-established population of Jews who fled the pogroms of Russia near the turn of the century and settled in the Argentine countryside. This film tells the story of those early settlers, many of them new to farm work and all of them new to the horse-riding traditions of the region's cowboys ("gauchos"). Based on the book by Alberto Gerchunoff who was one of these immigrants. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Alberto (Alberto Olmedo) and Jorge (Jorge Porcel) have lovely wives, but they are bored. They have seen how Tristan (Tristan Diaz Ocampo) seduces the women who come to the beauty parlor he works in, so they, too, get jobs there. The comedy starts when the duo choose totally inappropriate women to make advances to. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

This comedy is a reworking of old vaudeville routines used to show some hilarious (at least they are intended to be) sex situations. Although several sex comedies have come from Argentina, this feature holds little resemblance to the more successful efforts of the genre. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

Enrique Carreras directs this feature that contains three separate stories. "Children's Command" is a sentimental comedy that finds the children of a widowed father attempting to marry him off to their favorite television star Jimena Mercedes Carreras. In "Idols At Home," an actor is henpecked by his harridan wife, a retired tango singer who resents his continued popularity. Argentine comic Carlos Bala appears in a dramatic role in the uneven "A Round Illusion." ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

A young man seeks a follower of Juan Peron who lead to his father's ruin in this plodding political drama. The hero spends most of the time wandering the streets in search of the man, but no insight is given to the character's motivations other than revenge. Symbolically, the searcher becomes the target in this film that seems to be a cinematic response calling for unity in Argentina in the wake of political volatility. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
- Starring:
- Sergio Renán, Marcela Lopez Rey, (more)
