Martin agrees, and his son, who is also named Martin, returns with him. Martin, Sr. lives with his cocaine-addicted, much-younger girlfriend Alicia and their mutual friend Dante, a homosexual actor. Though at some level, he cares for both, he is just too emotionally removed to ever show it. It is the same with his son, whom he calls H (pronounced "hache"), meaning hijo or son. Still, each member in the strange family attempts to reach the zombie-like boy, whose only interests seem to be the pursuit of sex and drugs. Essentially an internal drama centered around numerous intense and challenging conversations, this entry from Argentine filmmaker Adolfo Aristarain will most likely appeal to those who love intellectual cinema. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

    Dialogue-driven film done right. Good casting and solid performances from everyone. Having Cecilia Roth topless didn't hurt at all.

    Heart breaking story about the relationship between a father and son; son has a close call when he over doses on acid, and is tackling with drugs; he is sent to his father to "clean up" but in the end, both father and son learn new things about each other.
