About La hora del tigre
Humberto and Atilio, two elderly men confined in a nursing home, decide to flee when they see the arrival of some ballot boxes through the window, which makes them assume that their lives are in danger. The escape causes the mobilization of an entire military strategic team while the two elderly men and Daniel, an employee of the nursing home, wander around the roads of the area. In the end, they are unexpectedly armed and confront the “enemy”.
Directed by Alfredo Lugo, La hora del tigre leans on a strong ensemble — Marcelo Romo, Arturo Calderón, Kiko Mendive — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1985.
