Rafael Spregelburd is "Víctor", a cynical critic, who watches films with his cynical cronies. ( He uses a fun gadget in the dark theater... a pen with a tiny light attached so he can see as he writes.) All of his interactions are awkward and disturbing, and he's a pretty terrible person. On a date, he pretends to choke the woman who has not yet smiled, so of course, she leaves. And when a friend tries to talk about a new love she has met, Victor keeps changing the subject. We see him go through a date's backpack... just more evidence of what a bad man he his. At the very start of the film, the narrator says "we are in argentine, but I prefer to speak the more respectable french"... he always seems to think he is better than everyone else. So far, he's been a pretty crummy person. But then he meets Sofia, and she challenges him, and tries to turn him into a human being. then things get even more complicated... Written and directed by Hernán Guerschuny. The subtitles are pretty rough... they left some things out of translation, here and there. The plot has some twists and turns. It's pretty good, if you stick around to the bitter end.
