Secrets about Mammy Sebastián is a successful lawyer in Buenos Aires and is in the middle of an important case. He has divorced from Delia and they have two children, Luca and Luna. Delia wants to move to Spain to live with her father and wants full custody of the children, but Sebastián is reluctant. Sebastián goes to Delia's apartment on the seventh floor of an old building to take Luca and Luna to school and Delia leaves the place. The siblings ask to go down playing on the stairs while Sebastián takes the elevator. When he arrives on the lobby, he realizes that the children have vanished. Sebastián needs to be in court for an important case but he seeks them out with the janitor and his neighbor Rosales, who is a police detective. He calls Delia that returns to the building and suspects of everyone until a woman calls him asking for a one hundred thousand-dollar ransom in two hours. How can the desperate Sebastián raise this amount in a short time and who might have kidnapped his ... Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
A subject quite intriguing. A father who lost his two children playing a game that her wife had forbidden: who goes down faster from the seventh floor where they lived. Him by the elevator. Them down the stairs. However, when he reach the ground their children are not there. Suddenly commonplaces became unknown, mysterious. The performance of Ricardo Darin, great in films like Nine Queens and The Secret in Their Eyes, this time is not convincing and does not achieve the level of desperation that reaches for example Hugh Jackman, also as a father of a kidnapped girl in Prisoners, which compels him to cross the border of what is political correctness. Nor Belén Rueda reaches the level shown in The Orphanage where she also gives life to a mother whose son disappears in her own home. The end is resolved too quickly and with serious gaps in the plot (for example, how did her wife know exactly when will they play that game? It meant that someone had to be perennially waiting behind the door to catch the children? ). Anyway, absolutely forgettable film.
