What happens

Siempre es difícil volver a casa (It's Always Hard to Return Home) is a 1992 Argentine comedy film co-written and directed by Jorge Polaco. The film loosely adapts the homonymous novel by Antonio Dal Masetto, who was reportedly unhappy with the final result. It is Polaco's first major studio production, featuring A-list comedians from the popular comedy troupe Trío Midachi (two out of the three). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
