User Reviews

A peculiar situation between two "enemy" squads.

I liked this movie, because it shows the human behavior in a difficult situation (almost a war) between two nations that has many things in common. I recommend it to anyone, specially to Argentine and Chilean people. If you are older than 35 years you may remember the situation, if you aren't: there were a problem between Argentina and Chile because of some islands at the south of the continent, near Tierra del Fuiego. The two countries started to reinforce their army, and there was almost a war because of "The Beagle Channel". This is the story of two squads, one Chilean and the other one Argentinean, and what happened between them when they were at the south waiting for the war to begin.
