"The Come-On"
1996
Directed by Ernesto Rimoch

A gentle satire on middle-class values and behavior from director Ernesto Rimoch.

But everything falls apart when the money to finance the nuptials is stolen at the reception. Winner of Ariel Awards for Best First Work by a Director and Best Supporting Actor for Damian Alcazar. Spanish with English subtitles.  84 minutes.
