In this touching and deadpan comedy coming all the way from Uruguay, a businessman who owns an antiquated sock factory convinces a difficult employee to pose as his wife to impress a visiting long-lost brother. The brother then invites the couple on a seaside trip, which leads tostring of uncomfortable and comical events… Made on a shoestring, the film won the Fipresci (International Film Critics) and Prix Original Regard Awards in Cannes.
