Most modern Argentine movies are of dark, sad topics. This one is not quite a comedy, but not melodramatic either. Instead it is a pleasant film about family relationships. Father and son are attorneys in Buenos Aires but the son has never worked with his dad, although the father's office had a room for him. Instead he is a creative university professor of law, and meets his future wife there. When the son becomes a father himself, he takes stock of his life and realizes there is more to it than work. The movie is entertaining, but simple, and well acted. It hasn't yet been released in the US, but I saw it in Buenos Aires and English subtitles were available on the DVD.

Although i thought about walking out halfway through, stayed until the end cos it was raining really bad outside.Here's how good I thought the film was: * there was no real story. * Complete absence of attaching characters. I mean, sure the little boy is cute, the wife if good looking, etc. but the main character isn't exactly someone u identify with nor someone u hate. He's just someone who leaves you completely indifferent. Hence: where's the point in making a movie about it???? * not particularly funny for a comedy. * and as far as the story line is concerned, nothing much happening either. Genrelly quite slow.A boring film! Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I saw this movie being shown in a Jewish film festival. Apart from the fact that two of the characters are supposed to be Jewish there is nothing Jewish about it. Nor did there seem to be anything very Argentinian about it. None of the characters is really fleshed out and there is no genuine character development or much by way of plot development. There are little items in the dialogue or glances by the camera that you feel may lead somewhere but never do. For example the lead character's baby sitter goes to sleep in his bed one night - so? Other things just don't gel - his father turns out to have had some terminal illness and is supposedly somehow preparing him to take over the law practice but shows no signs whatsoever of ill health and dies suddenly of unexplained cause - no hospitalisation, no nothing. The presumed main theme of the movie - a father learning to be a better father to his infant son is never really convincingly portrayed. Altogether this is a boring movie about fairly boring lives. My two rating stars are for the production values which are reasonable and the female lead who is quite pretty.

I was forced to watch this film, and I want to warn the others to avoid this and any of this directors films so you are not as deceived as I was when I watched it. I was told I would be watching something new and different from a young director. If this is different, I don't ever want to experiment anymore . After watching this, I hope I never be a teacher, if I turn into perelman(protagonist). His life is so boring. I challenge the director to show something more impressing that can call the spectators attention, without showing just a simple MEDIOCRE life of a lawyer TEACHER that wakes up each day doing the same thing over and over. Come on! If this is life, I want to get killed. If this is your life, just keep it in secret, What wrong did I do to have to watch this? well, I have a girlfriend, and this is part of what I have to pay to........
