Me debes un muerto

1971 Comedy
5.2 / 10 · TMDB

Julio, a young and perpetually unlucky con artist in Buenos Aires, hatches a scheme for easy money. His plan to fake his own death for an insurance payout quickly spirals into chaos. Instead of a quiet retirement, he's pursued by bumbling relatives, suspicious police, and a series of increasingly ridiculous misunderstandings. Every attempt to untangle the mess only tightens the knot of absurdity, transforming a simple scam into a city-wide farce where nothing goes according to plan.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This 1971 Argentine comedy deftly walks the line between satire and light farce, poking fun at both human greed and systemic absurdity.

What lingers after the final gag is the clever construction of a plot where every lie necessitates a bigger one, trapping the protagonist in his own web. A charming period piece with a cynical wink. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: José Luis Sáenz de Heredia
