Ricardo Darín plays the part of a man in crisis. He runs a restaurant that only gives him worries; his girlfriend is tired of seeing him stressed; he has not time for anything, and in addition, his parents, after 40 years of irreligious living, have decided to get married before dying. Everything seems to crash and burn down in his life; a heart attack will make him to reconsider all his life and move him to make some with his life. The film is, possibly the best Argentinian film I've seen ever (and the best film I've seen during a long time, the directing is very good and, despite it is 2 hours long, at any moment can you detect the most little lack of rhythm as you'll be totally caught by the film. In the same way, the actors are impressive, and not only Darin, but Alterio's acting is superb; maybe deserving one Oscar (or at least, nomination). The story is really moving and make us think and watch how is our live, and if we are taking enough profit of it. A very, very good movie; if you can, don't avoid watching it.
