Fernández es empleado en un negocio de venta de artículos de ferretería. La muerte de su patrón, don Vila, es un pensamiento recurrente: no olvida que una vez le prometió, al pasar, que algún día el negocio sería suyo. Los días de Fernández transcurren entre la rutina del comercio y visitas a la casa de su enamorada, la señorita Plasini, quien vive con su madre y su hermano en un ambiente asfixiante, siniestro. (Mar del Plata International Film Festival)
(más)Reseñas (1)
Latin American film (almost) magical realism, which allows madness and abnormality to emerge amusingly and mysteriously underneath beautiful black and white textures. It is a drama with elements of comedy and sometimes even horror (the characters float in a strange realm between reality and dream) that benefits from excellent work with a stylish black-and-white camera and editing. This, in combination with the story of a diffident hero and a disturbed family, creates a tense atmosphere where meaningless details take on disturbing meanings, facial details, and a mise-en-scène repelling the strangeness of the unknown, and where a nighttime dream may eventually turn into a daytime nightmare. A film about desire and submission to it. A film about the desire to get rid of the master preventing our happiness, only to find ourselves in his place and not finding any other way out but to end the futile waiting game. The film may remind some people of the works of David Lynch.
