De noche van a tu cuarto

The story of Maxi Herneston, whose life is far from perfect: he works as an employee in a local video store; he has an older brother who tortures him day and night and a mother obsessed with sex. But these circumstances become minor details when he accidentally ingests a virus from outer space that will make him feel incredibly sick and, in the final instance, will force him to defecate five aliens who at first seem friendly but who later turn out to have their own plans regarding the boy and the future of the earth.

Directed by Sebastián De Caro, De noche van a tu cuarto leans on a strong ensemble — Ezequiel Tronconi, Paula Guía, Lis Berenguer — 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 2005.
