"Lively and hilarious, with very colorful, likeable characters as well as a refreshingly original plot that is full of pleasant surprises!" - Avi Offer, THE NYC MOVIE GURU

In this romantic lesbian comedy (of errors), the Argentinean phenomenon Javier Lombardo is asked to perform a 'favor' for the sexy 'roommates' and wanna-be parents, Mora and Roberta. Set in one flat over one evening, El Favor follows Mora and Roberta as they attempt to control their unexpected visitors and their own relationship while simultaneously trying to convince Mora's brother to perform just one small 'favor' for them.

This comedic romp is reminiscent of over-the-top Mexican novelas (although this one is set to music and given a commedia del arte script). The overly theatrical performances are to be laughed with and the accents forgiven while we cross our fingers and hope that Mora and Roberta finally get their way.

Contains sexual situations and brief nudity. No one under 17 admitted without parent or guardian.

Spanish Synopsis: Mora y Roberta son dos chicas que viven en pareja. Y quieren tener un hijo. Conciben un plan que no admite escrupulos ni vacilaciones: Roberta debe acostarse con Felipe, el hermano de Mora. Solo falta decirselo a él.

Y Felipe ni siquiera sabe que su hermana vive con una mujer. El trabaja en un campo del Sur, solo como un ermitaño. Se dedica a la inseminacion artificial de pavos. Viene a cerrar un negocio a la ciudad. Y se queda una sola noche: Mora y Roberta tienen que aprovechar esta ocasión. Apenas llega Felipe a la casa de su hermana, Roberta intenta seducirlo. Mora, en cambio quiere convencer a su hermano de que se preste a servir de "semental". Pero él se niega, y con qué dolor: Roberta es una de esas mujeres que dejan temblando a los hombres, y está dispuesta a todo. La tentación resulta perturbadora.

Y es que además de un momento a otro va a llegar Faustina, la novia de Felipe. En el último año sólo se vieron una vez, hace dos meses. Ella tambien tiene que darle a Felipe una noticia: está embarazada. Felipe quiere salir huyendo. Entonces las chicas se confabulan contra él. Y ahora la lucha es desigual: nada puede detener a ese huracan implacable que son tres mujeres decididas.
