(SPOILERS): Luis Puenzo directed La historia oficial & Old gringo. So, he kind of made to Holywood to pay attention (a long ago) to argentinian cinema, but also made some crappy stuff. His daughter directed this flick, wich is the first of her. The script is adapted from a book of a guy that's a bit nuts, always tells weird stories. So is this one. Is the story of a person that was born with both male and femenine genitals, and the concernings that this brings to her/him and the parents. The starting titles are very promising, and so is the music and the initial mood of the movie. But, when you see what's the patht that she takes for the storytelling, you might, ok I started to wonder how this was going to end. And... I was a bit disappointed. The ultimate point of the movie, is wether she/he will make a desicion or not concerning the sex choice. And, believe it or not, it's an ambiguous ending. But, not good or powerful enough to make it interesting. The thing is that for a directorial debut, the movie is not bad at all, but for Goyas and maybe Oscars? Nah. Not at all.
