- DirectorMatías BizeStarsBlanca LewinVíctor MonteroAntonia Zegers"Mother" stands out on the front of her black t-shirt, "Fucker" on the back. And as angrily as these words sound when combined into a curse, is how Antonia behaves. Because she is pregnant, and Victor, who slept with her, is getting married in a few hours to Blanca. Incensed, and looking like a black angel of revenge, she searches out her rival, already in her white wedding robes, to confront her with this fact. Her neighbour Gabriel, a film student, has agreed to record everything on video, to soothe Antonia's fury. When Blanca learns, in front of the camera, that her future husband has betrayed her well and proper, she hired Gabriel at short notice as a cameraman for a wedding video of a quite different kind. Blanca finds her husband having a shower, drives him out into the street and exposes this Latin lover, not just verbally. "We have over a million sperm and you have just one egg to be fertilised", the womanizer argues, driven into a corner out in the open. Even better than his biologistical legitimation is the motto borrowed from computer technology: loyalty is like working on the computer. You can always only work on one file at a time and don't see all the others in front of you, you are, so to speak, loyal to one file. The camera in this breathlessly rapid parody of cinema-verite changes its perspective many times before finally settling on Blanca, with an unmoving, rigid look, intending to observe her having a fling.

Any of these characters has a dream, Feri wants to get power, Sati wants to get rich and Sisi wants to become famous. Their dreams are depend on "Mr.Engineer (Project Manager)" who will give them a huge amount of money as the commission of a "bid rigging" but he... The movie plot has a special literature that even in Persian language is a little bit complicated. We did our best to translate the subtitle as good as we could. Anyway you will see some artificial and new words and phrases which we did that on purpose. Also the camera movements are a little bit shaky in order to fit the atmosphere of the film an there is some jack hammer noise with the same purpose. So every detail that you will see in the movie made by a purpose and of course it includes a large number of details. In case at some point Feri says: "GO..." -two times- to refer to "Waiting for Godot" and "Father Goriot". We hope you watch it and enjoy.
