This is a dramatic story of very unconventional content, the roots of which go back to the Argentine dictatorship, when terrible things happened to people. Businesswoman Carmen Uranga (Cecilia Roth) in her 40s comes from Madrid, where she has lived for 20 years, to Buenos Aires to say goodbye to her dying father and apply for real estate that their family owns. Together with her father and mother lives her younger sister Ana (Dolores Fonzi), who became a lawyer and prepares all these documents. She was very much waiting for her sister’s arrival, but she breathes cold from her and behaves quite detached. The father is treated by Dr. Alejandro (Luis Zimbrowski), when Carmen meets with whom it becomes clear that they have a long connection. Carmen herself rents an apartment in which she first invites one couple, during sex in the next room of which she is engaged in self-satisfaction, then she leaves only a guy who reads her a novel of erotic content for the same purpose because of the closed door. That is, at first the story is tied up as quite melodramatic and even sleek. But it's not that simple. The sister is watching Carmen and discussing her behavior with Alejandro. Gradually, from the darkness of the past, tragic circumstances begin to appear, on the basis of which Carmen drove her brain, and about which Alejandro gradually tells Ana. Unfortunately, instead of talking to each other in a human way, they continue to darken, they are not used to frankness, which leads to quite unpleasant and even tragic events. The idea of the author was, perhaps, not bad, could turn out a strong film, but not very he, in my opinion, managed to implement the plan, although some of the film very much liked. Unfortunately, the script is not very clear in some places and the director had little experience, because before that he was a composer. The actors are good, and the film is based on them.
