Quiz
All the houses that appear in the film are very close to each other in the same Buenos Aires neighborhood, Versalles. The main house (Elvira and Sergio's) became too old with the years. It was about to face demolition but the city's government decided to mark it as a cultural landmark and it was totally repaired. Now, it is a site of pilgrimage for thousands of fans who visit it all year round to take pictures and tour around the neighborhood. The house is inhabited by the same family who owned it at the time of the filming. They even have a female dog as pet named after one of the characters in the movie: "Matilde" (the young daughter of Elvira and Sergio).

Citazioni
Antonio: [in the car, eating an empanada he picked up from some very poor relative's house] What misery! What misery! Do you know what did they have for lunch?
Sergio: [looking at the empanada Antonio is eating] Empanadas.
Antonio: Three of them. It broke my heart! Three leftover empanadas from last night's dinner for two people! God, how little you can do to help people!

Great movie

I've seen this movie recently and I really enjoyed it.

Although it shows a problem many families deal with (having an old person in the family, and not knowing what to do with him/her), it shows it in a funny way.

It tells the story about Mamá Cora (Antonio Gasalla), a woman in her eighties who apparently, it's disturbing in her bigger son's house. Her son's wife wants her out of the house, as she is driving her mad. Mamá Cora tries to help, but unfortunately, everything she does, she does it wrongly.

The family goes through lots of trouble, trying to solve what to do with Mamá Cora. While all this happens, a confusion makes the family believe she dies, and that leads to the funniest scenes of the comedy, although the whole movie is hilarious.

If want to rent a good comedy, I strongly recommend you to go for "Esperando la Carroza". Not to mention the outstanding performances of actors like China Zorrilla, Betiana Blum and Luis Brandoni, among others.

My score 10/10. Excellent movie.
