Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
'Paco' refers to a cheap cocaine paste epidemic that devastated Argentina's working class in the 2000s, making Francisco's middle-class fall particularly pointed.
Diego Rafecas cast his own son in a small role, which adds a weird layer to all the mother-son dysfunction on screen.
