A major box office success in Argentina,this is the directing debut by established Argentine actor Ricardo Darín. Set against the background of the decline in health of Eva Peron in the 1950s,Darin is one half of a down-and-out gumshoe partnership. Working alongside his partner Diego Peretti,he cares for little other than his dog, what’s going on at the racetrack and occasional liaisons with his teacher girlfriend. Things change when femme fatale Julieta Díaz, the wife of a mafia kingpin asks him to trail a man—but things get steamy after his mark turns up dead and she turns up the heat on their relationship.
