And 7 cause of the actors that are just fantastic, all of them are on a wonderful characterization school and perform amazing!!! Worth following movies with them, most of the cast were pros and slipped artist and local songwitters to the cast, nice touch!!! Productionwise from being on late 90s was a success, much talent all areas! And the movie beggins super with an incredible tramma with one of the best lawyers going to prison charged of murder and from day one the spectator has seen the curruption, high middle poor class in argentina, it's great, the first 5 parts are superb. There's a woman lawyer who believes in his fate and tries to follow the case and it's an incredible story bout the villages of buenos aires full of mystical beliefs - Direction has it all on and Production. Music is hilarious and appropriate! It kicks Prison break's ass!

Men in prison
boudu_sauve_des_eaux16 November 2002
This mini acts as a wonderful homage to every movie of the subgenre 'Men in prison'. Ulises, a typical successful lawyer is found guilty of murder and sent to prison. There, he has to learn new rules, and confront (and even become friend) with the dangerous and mad 'Willy Marmota', who he had imprisoned, as a lawyer. In the meantime, a young female lawyer try to resolve whether Ulises is innocent. His old friends and associates abandon him . And his family lives menaced. The result is an impressive mini , where every character (even the sadistic prison guards) is fully developed, Jarmusch-style, and the story is as interesting and shocking as 'Midnight Express'. 10/10
