love is bittersweet
12 September 2005
(Quoting) -What are you gonna do tonight?, -I'm gonna chop off my balls, but maybe i'll leave for tomorrow. That's the best side of being alone, one can do things whenever he wants!

This is just a taste of Javier's obscure sense of humour when his life takes a new direction, after his long-term relationship and brand new wife, tells him that she met someone else and wants to leave him.

The film is a laugh from the beginning to the end, as the main character, (Diego Peretti) tries to reconstruct his life, and get over Maria (Soledad Villamil), with comfort from his best friend, Martin, and the help of a psychoanalyst,(Marcos Mundstock from Les Luthiers).

Characters and situations as real, as life itself; sad, but taken care of, as big problems, also can have a funny side... and the tenderness of falling in love again.

Do not expect a 'super-honey-sweet film', it's a love story, but it shows the bitter side as well.
