I loved the plot, enticing, great plot. Most importantly the acting was superb. And best of all, the soundtrack. Whoever was in charge of the music deserves a raise. Hey, maybe music/ soundtrack isn't as important for you as it is for me... but if it is, and you like to hear some retro classics, definitely worth a watch! I am not a fan of spoilers, But this movie has it all, suspense, thriller, drama/romance and action. Part of me, wishes it was longer, but I also feel it was a beautiful ending, in my personal opinion.
Again, I especially loved the music/soundtrack and plot. Grab some popcorn and make it a movie night!

This clever thriller really got me in and kept me guessing. It's the story of a devoted family man who takes the desperate measure to disappear in order to protect his wife and children from a ruthless loan shark. Much of the interest from that point in the movie comes from the brilliant acting by Joaquin Furriel who conveys the heartbreak of losing his family entirely through his demeanour and facial expressions. It's a sacrifice that I think few people would make. His new life, and that of his family unfold in very believable and poignant ways, but as you watch them there is a constant sense that the new arrangement can't last. The final part of the movie is gripping and ultimately surprised me. I thought that the ending was perfect, and like all really satisfying endings it was thought provoking, leaving me wondering how things would pan out from that point.
Taking advantage of the historical fact of the attack on AMIA (July 1994), the plot becomes a parade of unlikely things, something that no one would believe. Furthermore, there is an annoying stereotype in the main character's children that bothered me a lot. Do not waste your time. Completely unbelievable plot and unconvincing performances. In short, a rare mediocre Argentine film where the Jewish community is characterized as materialistic and enjoys showing off. And to make things worse, a friendly dog appears whose fate will remain unknown. The passage of time inhabits the things little explained in the film.
I don't recommend this, not even if you're bored and want to just turn something on. The whole time I kept thinking about how unrealistic the plot is. Not to mention frustrating because what was supposed to be the father sacrificing for the family, his actions in the movie were extremely egocentric. I couldn't get behind anything that he was doing... I have no idea who's the bad guy or good guy, or if there's even supposed to be any.
Literally no point to this film unless you want to feel annoyed.. Only reason it got stars is because I thought the production and etc were decent considering how bad the storyline is ..

Lets start with the good parts...
Okay! I'm finished!
Now the bad parts : the movie has no sense at all! There is no reason watching it. The idea of the story is not bad but the execution in my opinion is terrible... You wait the whole movie for something to happen and during the last scene you wish it's not gonna be the last scene... and yet IT IS! The only hope that you have that this movie will give you something is gone right there on the spot, together with the endind titles. Nothing intresting at all.
I honestly feel bad for the time i spent watching this... Poor poor poor... Don't waste your time :)
