Fabián, a magician from Buenos Aires, saves his money from weddings, birthdays, and bar mitzvahs, and uses a hidden camera to document a week-long trip to the Falkland Islands where he has a patriotic plan: to impregnate a British woman. If 500 Argies do this annually, the islands will soon be overrun with children belonging to both cultures.
Acting
Fabián Stratas commits fully to unhinged protagonist energy.
Writing
The premise is so wrong it loops back to fascinating.
Director
José Luis Marqués
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Argentina's 1990s economic collapse, when Falklands grievance mixed weirdly with globalization anxiety. The '500 Argies' math is genuinely unhinged.
Director Marqués never made another feature; this exists as a singular artifact of someone going absolutely feral with a camcorder and a grudge.
