    The first great Torre Nilsson film

    This movie reflects a major change in Argentine filmmaking and the maturity of a young director. The decadence of the aristocracy is showed subtlety in a claustrophobic atmosphere. The innocence confronted with the sexuality of a young woman. A superb art direction. A masterpiece on filmmaking
