Not really a thriller but a drama, convincing drama but, yes, rather unbelievable. However, acting and directing are good and let us forget many unlikely scenes and situations. I doubt this movie was ever released in movie theaters, or in only a few ones. I don't know any of the actors, and the production design, overall atmosphere, were quite good enough for my taste. The ending is also worth the watch, and justifies to endure the whole film. Not a Hollywood like plot, that's the most important. Too many non American pictures try to imitate the US fashion. This is a sad story, not a super hero tale.
They did not do a good job of convincing us that the married couple was close. We see very little of their relationship before the big stuff happens. I don't think they told us what product the family company made. Why make them Jewish? They didn't sell the Jewish angle. I didn't believe it.
There is a large passage of time during which we see very little of what happens in people's lives. Was the grey beard meant as a disguise because the guy was planning to resurface, or just to show the passage of time? Couldn't he have trimmed it to look less homeless? As people mentioned, the women didn't look older.
I did feel the emotions of the main characters. That much was good. I was actually ok with the ending too. I know a lot of people hated it.
The kind of guy who let himself get into such debt, kept it from his family, and made the other decisions he made, would probably not know what to feel or do when facing the consequences of his actions. He waffled, caused more pain, and failed again.

I loved the plot, enticing, great plot. Most importantly the acting was superb. And best of all, the soundtrack. Whoever was in charge of the music deserves a raise. Hey, maybe music/ soundtrack isn't as important for you as it is for me... but if it is, and you like to hear some retro classics, definitely worth a watch! I am not a fan of spoilers, But this movie has it all, suspense, thriller, drama/romance and action. Part of me, wishes it was longer, but I also feel it was a beautiful ending, in my personal opinion.
Again, I especially loved the music/soundtrack and plot. Grab some popcorn and make it a movie night!

Taking advantage of the historical fact of the attack on AMIA (July 1994), the plot becomes a parade of unlikely things, something that no one would believe. Furthermore, there is an annoying stereotype in the main character's children that bothered me a lot. Do not waste your time. Completely unbelievable plot and unconvincing performances. In short, a rare mediocre Argentine film where the Jewish community is characterized as materialistic and enjoys showing off. And to make things worse, a friendly dog appears whose fate will remain unknown. The passage of time inhabits the things little explained in the film.
This clever thriller really got me in and kept me guessing. It's the story of a devoted family man who takes the desperate measure to disappear in order to protect his wife and children from a ruthless loan shark. Much of the interest from that point in the movie comes from the brilliant acting by Joaquin Furriel who conveys the heartbreak of losing his family entirely through his demeanour and facial expressions. It's a sacrifice that I think few people would make. His new life, and that of his family unfold in very believable and poignant ways, but as you watch them there is a constant sense that the new arrangement can't last. The final part of the movie is gripping and ultimately surprised me. I thought that the ending was perfect, and like all really satisfying endings it was thought provoking, leaving me wondering how things would pan out from that point.
