For the Money - Alejo Moguillansky

A miserable Argentine troupe of actors, dancers, musicians, film-makers and a girl embark on a theatre tour to some country, probably in Latin America. If ever love and money were irreconcilable, For the Money is the story of that tragedy. “Just like the characters in For the Money, the film is Cervantes and Don Quixote at the same time. It is a financial portrait of those of us who made it and it is perhaps the most autobiographical film ever produced by El Pampero Cine. It ventures to answer a question we have always been asked: what do you live off? How do you finance your films? How do you make a living? Maybe this comedy of adventures will shed light on such a thorny issue.” Alejo Moguillansky.
