The cranes underscore Argentina's struggle to recover from financial disaster and find its place in the worl economy. They represent a dream for Rulo, the overweight, middle-aged, chain-smoking hero. This slice- of-life drama, told in a series of episodes, invites comparisons to the Neo-Realism of 1950s Italian cinema. At the center is Rulo, a one-time rock star trying to support his aging mother and musician son.
