Description
An engaging, hilarious and entertainment film that focuses on Durval, a thirty-something slacker with a long face and a 60's rock star hairstyle. Durval runs a small shop specialized in vintage records called Durval Discos, out of the house that he shares with his overweight and overbearing mother. Durval isn't much of a ladies man, though he tries with the nosy and cute shop girl next door. When managing the house seems to be taking its toll on his aging mother, Durval convinces her that they should hire a live-in maid. At first they can't find anyone because Carmita is far too cheap to pay the going rate, but suddenly the beautiful Celia shows up and agrees to take the job. She isn't there for long, however, before she mysteriously disappears, leaving behind an adorable little girl named Kiki with a note urging them to "Take care of her for a few days". Durval, on the other hand, finds that his growing attachment to the child is tempered by the reality that she belongs to someone else. When Celia doesn't return, and they discover Kiki's identity on the local news, Durval and his mom are faced with a dilemma which changes their view about life.Customer Reviews:
