A worthy piece of social critique

Banned for two years by censorship, this movie is a pretty acute critique of Argentine middle-class society. It's based on a story by Guy de Maupassant, but placed in a Buenos Aires contemporary setting. We get to see social status panic, materialism, and machismo all sent up in an ironic-objective style that is good for many understated and knowing chuckles. And one more thing: anytime anyone reads the newspaper in this movie (which is far more often than you might think necessary) the headlines blare news about military coups and confrontations. No wonder they censored this movie. See it and enjoy it.
