SYNOPSIS The film tells the story of a conflict between neighbors that seems endless. A simple dividing wall can separate two worlds, two ways of dressing, eating, and living. On one side is Leonardo (Rafael Spregelburd), a refined and prestigious designer who lives in a house built by Le Corbusier. On the other side is Víctor (Daniel Aráoz), a used car salesman—coarse, rustic, and overbearing. Víctor decides to add a window to get more light, and that’s when the problem begins: each becomes aware of the other’s existence.
Mariano Cohn y Gastón Duprat
Argentine filmmakers and screenwriters, they have worked as a creative duo since the late 1990s. They are known for a satirical, critical, and provocative style, both in film and television, with a strong focus on critiquing art, power, and social contradictions. In television, they created influential series such as
Televisión por la identidad,
El hombre de tu vida, and
Enciclopedia, which helped renew Argentine fiction. In cinema, they achieved international recognition with films like
The Distinguished Citizen,
My Masterpiece, and
Official Competition. Their work is characterized by sharp, uncomfortable humor as a narrative tool. Today, they are leading figures in contemporary Argentine audiovisual production.
