"What shall we see tonight?" "I don't know - - how about that black-and-white lesbian road movie from Argentina?" Not the likeliest exchange perhaps, but if you're looking for an alternative to the usual fodder you could do worse than seeking out this seductive, slow-burning curio.
Marcia (Tatiana Saphir), an overweight salesgirl from Buenos Aires, is kidnapped by two lesbian punks and whisked away to the coast.
