Campanella is the kind of filmmaker that will always try to reach your human side, that will try to get through you by your heart not by your head. His stories have some kind of infallible tenderness, something that goes beyond the fact that you can feel identified with a character or with a certain situation; a tenderness that's universal, that is the same for all man kind. "Luna de Avellaneda" is not at all the exception to the rule: it's just another Campanella movie. A simple plot, with simple characters, very familiar places (maybe too familiar) dialogs that can mix really damn good trivial elements with deep ones, and smart humor, all these things, create the big panoramic picture of what this movie is. Great cast (Darín, Morán, Blanco mostly) and great production (for an Argentinian movie) do the rest. Then, all you have to do is sit and enjoy this happy go lucky movie, where every bad is eclipsed by some great good, and everything is just there to reveal you a lesson to remember, an that's to keep hope, and to hold on to things that matter although time may pass them by.
