Latinbeat 2012
August 10 - 23, 2012
In this warm hearted, gentle and affectionate comedy, the great Ricardo Darin stars as the hardened lonely owner of a hardware store who one day assists a newly arrived Chinese immigrant in need of help.
This gentle and affectionate comedy starring the beloved Ricardo Darin (Nine Queens, The Son of the Bride, The Secret in Their Eyes) was the highest grossing local film in Argentina last year. Darin plays Roberto, the hardened lonely owner of a hardware store who reluctantly offers help to a newly arrived Chinese immigrant, without suspecting what he is getting into.
“Four stars (out of four)! It is hardly possible to suggest how involving this story becomes… [Chinese Takeway] deserved my care.” – Roger Ebert

Darin es Roberto, el dueño solitario y endurecido de una ferretería. Un día literalmente aterriza frente a él un inmigrante chino recién llegado y Roberto decide ayudarlo, sin sospechar en lo que se está metiendo.
