Synopsis

Chinese Take-Away

In Buenos Aires, the bitter and methodic Roberto is a lonely man and the owner of a hardware store. Roberto collects bizarre worldwide news in an album as a hobby and his acquaintance Mari has an unrequited love for him, but Roberto is always evasive.

One day, Roberto sees a Chinese named Jun being expelled from a taxi while he is watching the landing of airplanes in the airport and he helps the man to stand up. Jun does not speak Spanish and shows a tattoo with an address on his arm.

Roberto heads to the spot with Jun and discover that the place belonged to Jun's uncle that sold it three and half years ago. Roberto goes with Jun to the police station, to the China's embassy and to a Chinese neighborhood to seek out his uncle but it is a fruitless search.

Roberto lodges Jun in his house and after a series of incidents, he finds a delivery boy to translate Jun and he learns the dramatic story of his life.

I found the musical score to be overly repetitive, with certain tracks playing repeatedly in key moments, which became distracting and monotonous. It felt like the same few melodies were recycled without much variation or development.

4/10

The sound mixing in the film was subpar, with the music often overpowering the dialogue and ambient sounds. This made it difficult to fully engage with the characters' conversations and the nuances of the story, as the soundtrack competed for attention rather than complementing the narrative.
