Corvalán's Mother
Buenos Aires, 1880. A journalist interviews Manuel Esteban Corvalán, one of the last living men who crossed the Andes in 1817 with José de San Martín, during the Argentinian and Chilean wars of independence, as one of his secretaries, when he was only 15 years old.
Blanca, a capricious, adorable and excessive woman, has made two decisions in her life. The first, 20 years ago: marrying Salvador, owner of a prosperous mechanical workshop, to abandon the poverty of Barracas, going to live "near the President's house," as she always dreamed of. The second, 20 years later: changing the old furniture of her wedding to be in tune with the times: 1955. In the midst of the bustle, an anonymous gift surprises the whole family: a brand new TV, carefully wrapped and a card: "For Blanca… .You already know who." Blanca's narcissistic Hollywood fantasies, fueled by a mysterious admirer who sends expensive gifts, her children, her close friend and a husband who vanishes from loving gaze, complete the picture of this hilarious and hilarious comedy of a family drama.
