Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The series satirizes Argentina's 'encargado' culture — building superintendents who wield absurd social power in Buenos Aires's vertical class hierarchy.
Cohn and Duprat built a working replica of the apartment building on a soundstage, allowing single-take tracking shots that follow Eliseo's surveillance routes.
