    Hi, my dear friends!

    Last night I watched a movie that was recommended to me by my friend. She said that this film is literally about her. When I saw the movie, I understood what she meant. In addition to being a really good comedy, the film raises a really important issue of women in society and the issue of personal boundaries.

    As usual, below I give a description of the plot, taken from a free source. I've shortened it a bit, but you can read it in its entirety by clicking the link if you'd like of course.

    Pilar (Natalia Oreiro) lives in an apartment in Buenos Aires with her not very dedicated husband Javier (Fernán Mirás) and her adolescent and irresponsible stepson, Nicolás (Lucas Pose), works as an agent creative in an advertising agency and will soon be forty years old. Pilar leads a monotonous and exhausting life, which usually improves a bit when she talks to her ex-boyfriend Pablo (Diego Torres). However, Pablo is about to marry Sofía (Gimena Accardi), who hates Pilar. His neighbor, Guillermo (Walter Cornás) throws loud parties all the time, and his stepson doesn't go to school and spends all day bringing friends into his apartment. Her best friend Valeria (Pilar Gamboa) ignores her problems and doesn't listen to her because she keeps an eye on her phone. At work, her boss, Alejandro (Agustín Aristarán) considers that Pilar is outdated with respect to the world of social networks and hires the young influencer Maia (Malena Sánchez) to work with her to relaunch the advertising campaign that was the most successful of Pilar's career fifteen years ago. Maia annoys Pilar by taking her place in the company parking lot, and later humiliates her during a labor meeting by upstaged her and nullifying her proposals. After this, Pilar emotionally collapses when her car is impounded for being improperly parked. Although Pablo agrees to help her by taking her to the bar where he works, Sofía takes the opportunity to demand that Pilar stay away from her fiancé. While returning home depressed, Pilar meets Fernando Salaberry (Hugo Arana), an old man who is doing an "exercise to purify his soul" next to a bridge. Salaberry listens to her problems and tells her about a ritual she can perform to wake up the next day a completely different person, facing her problems.

    Do you know what the problem with good girls is? Good girls are convenient for everyone except themselves. We tell girls that they should be gentle and polite, delicate and understanding no matter what. There is nothing wrong with these qualities themselves, but this "no matter what" has disastrous consequences.

    This is not so noticeable on today's young girls, because approaches to parenting have changed significantly over the past couple of decades, but those over 35 often find themselves hostage to traditional stereotypes of female behavior. At the same time, a modern woman after 35 is often an independent and self-sufficient person, a brilliant professional, but the ghost of a "good girl" does not leave her, forcing her to sacrifice her interests even where it is harmful to herself.

    What is happening creates a tragic dissonance between the full awareness of one's own value and the consumerist, and sometimes frankly boorish attitude on the part of others. Dissatisfaction with the current situation is shrinking like a huge tight spring, and may God have mercy on you so that you are not around at the moment when this spring will be decompressed.

    To be honest, the film made an ambivalent impression on me. I would never call it a light family comedy. It is both inspiring and saddening at the same time.
