What happens

Los Neuróticos is a 1971 Argentine comedy film co-written and directed by Héctor Olivera and starring Norman Briski, Susana Giménez and Victor Bo. It was originally produced and finished in 1969, but it was banned by the Argentine Classification Board (which was in charge of censoring films) during the following years. The film underwent several cuts to submit it again in order to receive classification, but in September of 1971 the censors maintained their decision to ban the film. After several cuts and a new ratification in October, the film was finally authorized to be released in November 1971. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
