Eva Landeck’s film blends intimate fictional romance with observational documentary footage. This approach places the personal struggles of migrants within the broader sociopolitical realities of 1970s Argentina. The film successfully moves away from monolithic portrayals of society by focusing on displacement and the systemic forces of the time. Identity is shown as closely tied to the socio-economic environment. However, the lack of specific character details regarding gender and orientation makes it hard to assess representation in these areas clearly.
