Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Set at UBA, Argentina's most prestigious public university, where faculty politics carry genuine national weight. The film satirizes a specific Latin American academic culture where leftist credentials become social currency.
Directors Naishtat and Alché are partners who previously collaborated separately; this is their first co-directed feature. The title refers to a university position's 'points' system that determines hierarchy.
