This is one of those warm, funny little movies that make you laugh, cry and everything in between. The relationships between these characters, who are barely holding it together while their world falls apart, is really touching. The diversity of this group of immigrants sharing a "galería" - a kind of commercial space that filled the streets of Buenos Aires before the arrival of the shopping malls - certainly adds interest and make all these great character actors shine. Even though the theme and mood are quite different, it reminds me of another little movie that really touched me, "Walk on Water." When in doubt...go see both!
