Mora and Roberta, an Argentinean
lesbian couple, are desperate to have a child. With no scruples and
hesitation they work out a plan; Roberta will seduce and have sex with
Felipe, Mora's brother. Felipe (Javier Lombardo, seen in INTIMATE
STORIES) is a hermit who lives in Patagonia earning his living artificially
inseminating turkeys. Sure enough, things won't go smoothly.
Felipe isn’t easily seduced, and when an unexpected visitor turns up –
with surprising news -- everyone will get more than he/she has bargained
for! Colorful and wacky, with non-stop demented twists and turns,
EL
FAVOR is as giddy and delightful as Almodovar’s omnisexual comedy
classics, a la Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.
Do yourself a favor and join us for this ‘muy’ (very) funny delight.
