It is the summer of 1982 and the British fleet is off to punish the "Argies" and reconquer the Malvinas (Falkland Islands). Meanwhile, back in London, an Argentine exile named Pablo (played with dour wit by director Jorge Blanco) declares himself a one-man guerilla war against the enemy on whose soil he resides. Deciding to begin with the spoils of war, and assuming the right to take by force anything or anyone who comes along, he sets out after a striptease artist named Sandra and attempts to rape her. She disarms him with dispatch, first by speaking Spanish and then, incredibly, by inviting him up to her room. But in the love/hate that develops between this odd couple, she loses her apartment, her job and her friends in a succession that quite obviously parallels the progress of the Malvinas war. Thoroughly engaging and deceptively cavalier, Jorge Blanco's auspicious debut film was declared "the revelation of the 1984 Cannes Film Festival" (Le Monde). Blanco, born in Uruguay, raised in Argentina and living in London, captures in the rough immediacy of Argie the very personal impact of this absurd episode in history.
