For over 20 years, introverted hardware store owner Roberto (Ricardo Darín) has lived virtually shut off from the outside. After a chance encounter with Jun, a Chinese man who has arrived in Argentina looking for his only living relative, Roberto takes him in. Their unusual cohabitation helps Roberto bring an end to his loneliness, but not without revealing to the impassive Jun that destiny's intersections are many and they can even divulge the film's surreal opening sequence: a brindled cow falling from the sky.

An absolutely awesome combination of the absurdity and reality of the life of one inconspicuous guy in a hardware store on the street corner. I couldn’t stand the grump at first, but then I got so used to him that the 93 minutes really flew by. Not only he, but also his unexpected visitor and practically everyone who appeared in the film was like a balm on the soul. Especially when you’re not feeling well both physically and mentally. This will make you happy and it doesn’t matter that it’s the classic template I’ve seen several times already.

It really doesn't matter if the Danes travel to Brazil or the Germans to Holland. However, the variant of the Chinese in Argentina was quite new. The comparison to Amélie is justified because it is indeed Chinese Take-Away that is the festival film that caresses. The events of Robert and Jun seem to have fallen out of the handbook on how to entertain and not offend the festival audience. So, yes, go ahead and see it.
