Those Who Live Opposite
Description
A glance at life in Argentina at the beginning of the century, which is not too different to what it is today. A shrewd, roguish and amusing comedy that emphasizes the foundations of our society: the family. "Mertens gives us an accurate and keen-sighted portrayal of a Buenos Aires family, with a great sense of humor, which goes beyond just providing a brief glimpse, to show us how men and women live their everyday lives”, says Stella. This highly detailed observation and sharp criticism brings us up against how vacuous, banal, harmful, unhealthy and sterile it is to emulate, imitate and mimic; in short, it shows the dangers of trying to live life by imitating others, while continuing to enjoy what we have to offer, with no deceptive or insignificant models".
