What happens

Mala época (Bad Times) is a 1998 Argentine drama film. The film was executive produced by Mario Santos. This dramatic anthology of four episodes represents the collaborative effort of Mariano De Rosa, Rodrigo Moreno, Salvador Roselli, and Nicolás Saad. Each wrote and directed an episode. All are graduates of Argentina's primary film school, the Universidad del Cine, which helped fund the film. The film offers an unflattering look at Argentine society as it prepares to enter the 21st century. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
