About Yo tenía un plazo fijo
Two friends are looking to earn easy money by gathering people to help them deposit a large sum of money in a fixed term of seven days, to live on the interests, which are higher the greater the amount deposited. This has immediate consequences on the lifestyle of the characters, who are increasingly ambitious. Portrait of the Argentine middle class in full hyperinflation, when financial speculation was the order of the day by the man in the street.
Directed by Emilio G. Boretta, Yo tenía un plazo fijo leans on a strong ensemble — Guillermo Francella, Rodolfo Ranni, Ana María Giunta — 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 1990.
