This film bears the same name as Francisco Lombardi's excellent Peruvian movie. That's all the similarity, because this Argentine film depicts a crime and its investigation. The movie credits two persons with the direction: Beda Ocampo Feijoo and Maria Cecilia Barreras.

The opening scenes take us on trip along the river to a fashionable district where the owner of a magazine is surprised in the bathroom and shot to death. Just as the police detective in charge of the investigation arrive, so does the lawyer of the publication, and the brother of the victim. The inspector questions the men, but releases them.

Right after that, the magazine is in turmoil. Clara, who stands to lose the job, along with the other journalists, seeks the lawyer to offer her help in whatever she might be useful, something that will play in the plot, later on. The investigation into the murder of the wealthy man opens a can of worms as many people stand to gain by the disappearance of Abelardo. In a way, fans of this genre will probably figure out the outcome by the clues one is given at the beginning.

The best thing in the film is Luis Luque, who makes an impressive, and cool detective. Malena Soldan, Mauricio Dayub, Luis Brandoni, Alejandra Flechner and Gaston Pauls do good work among the supporting players.
