It was produced in 1988 and premiered at film festivals throughout the next year. The story is set in a rundown area of Buenos Aires at the dawn of the 1980s, where Adrian LeDuc becomes friends with Jack Carney, an American expatriate who rents a room from him. Gradually, Adrian begins to suspect that the outwardly likeable Jack is responsible for a series of political assassinations that are rocking the city.

Famously suffused with homoerotic overtones and moments of black comedy, it received mixed-to-positive reviews at the time of its release, and currently has a Rotten Tomatoes' score of 74% positive reactions from both critics and viewers.
