Official Submission from Argentina for the 2007 Foreign Language Oscar ™ Argentinean cinema again takes center stage on Opening Night as Daniel Burman “The Latin American Woody Allen” (Waiting for the Messiah, Lost Embrace) returns with his most mature film to date. Burman’s alter-ego Ariel (once again portrayed by Daniel Hendler) is now an adult—a popular law professor at a
Buenos Aires university and a father to a precocious pre-schooler. Still, Ariel feels uncomfortable in his own skin. Uncertain in his role as a father and husband, ambivalent about his relationship with his own dad—a successful defense attorney and larger-than-life presence—Ariel is in something of an early midlife crisis. Through the course of this warm and funny film, Ariel struggles to adjust to the full responsibilities of adulthood.
