Movie Info
In Argentina, Marcia (Tatiana Saphir) is a dowdy, overweight salesgirl working at a Buenos Aires lingerie shop that nobody visits. She has few friends, no boyfriend and low self-esteem. Her tedious life is one day disrupted by two rebellious lesbian strangers, Mao (Carla Crespo) and Lenin (Veronica Hassan), after the sight of Marcia inspires Mao's lust. The capricious girls kidnap Marcia at knife-point and drag her along on a frenzied, erratic journey of friendship, love and self-discovery.

Jan 20, 2014If you are going black and white, you should have a compelling reason to do so. Instead what we have is a boring series of vignettes of three young women who aren't telling us anything particularly important.John B Super Reviewer

Oct 31, 2010Two girls lure dowdy knicker seller into black and white roadtrip. An Argentinian indy film low on budget and Hollywood gloss, but high on thoughtfulness. I liked it.Lesley N Super Reviewer

Oct 10, 2010Cast: Tatiana Saphir, Carla Crespo, Veronica Hassan, Beatriz Thibaudin, Maria Merlino, Marcos Ferrante, Ana María Martínez, Susana Pampin, Luis Herrera, Laura Mantel Director :Diego Lerman Summary: Two young lesbian criminals kidnap a heavy-set girl in Buenos Aires, taking her along on a road trip into the Argentinean wilderness in a hijacked taxi. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing they might live to regret. Or will they? My Thoughts: "I liked the fact it was shot in black and white. Not many director's do that, and it was beautifully done. The character's are hard to relate to or even like, but eventually you come to understand them a bit more. It's a somewhat quiet and slow moving, but it fits the flow of the film. A decent little road movie."♥˩ƳИИ & Super Reviewer
