Title: La suerte está echada (The Luck is Tossed)
Released: 2005
Mufa: A person who suffers an inexplicable stigma which brings bad luck to himself and those around him.
La Suerte Está Echada is a film of luck, destiny and the human response to it. The main characters are two half-brothers who simultaneously and independently pass through a string of bad luck. When they find out about their father's sickness, their stories come together as they try to fulfill their father's last request. Although both Guillermo and Felipe seem to be mufas, their response to their bad luck sets them apart and eventually brings them together.
The film is entertaining and thoroughly Argentine, complete with tango and lunfardo, Argentine slang.
