According to El Clarin.com and other websites, “Los Domingos Mueren Mas Personas” is a comedy to “choke.”
The film deals with serious issues such as the death of a loved one, homosexuality, or fear, which, according to the website above, would not be tolerable if they were addressed in any other way.
Co-produced by Argentina, Italy, and Spain, and starring “Iair Said”, who also wrote and directed the film, it was screened at the prestigious Cannes and San Sebastian film festivals.
David, a young middle-class Jewish boy, overweight, homosexual, and afraid of flying, returns to Buenos Aires from Europe when his uncle dies.
