During this historic period in argentina, many labour rights were abolished, and industry was set back, while banks started rising and external debt grew practically exponentially. The result of these economic politics (which aimed for easy money) was one of the biggest disasters in the country's history, producing a large loss of it's industry and bringing large part of the population into poverty.[1]
Plot
Two businessmen dedicated to manufacturing and selling bathroom cabinets struggle to keep their factory running through a series of deep deindustrialization politics being pushed by the country's National Reorganization Process. One of them, Carlos Bonifatti, gets a chance at working in a bank and decides to stop manufacturing cabinets and dedicate fully to financial businesses which seem to be rising. The other partner, Rubén Molinuevo, sticks to the factory work. At the beginning the choice seems good for Bonifatti, who highly improves his living standards, but shortly after the tables will turn for both of them.
