Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
This politically charged black comedy from Argentina centers on a middle-aged married couple who desperately need a place to stay after the fall of the military government. They end up staying with a self-absorbed sculptor who basically locks them into a Spartan little room. At first the couple accepts the oppressive situation, but in time they rebel and suddenly the sculptor finds himself getting a dose of his own medicine. Unfortunately, the couple's anger gets the best of them and violence ensues.
