Mora and Roberta, an Argentinean lesbian couple, are desperate to have a child.  With no scruples and hesitation they work out a plan; Roberta will seduce and have sex with Felipe, Mora's brother.  Felipe (Javier Lombardo, seen in INTIMATE STORIES) is a hermit who lives in Patagonia earning his living artificially inseminating turkeys.  Sure enough, things won't go smoothly.  Felipe isn’t easily seduced, and when an unexpected visitor turns up – with surprising news -- everyone will get more than he/she has bargained for!  Colorful and wacky, with non-stop demented twists and turns, EL FAVOR  is as giddy and delightful as Almodovar’s omnisexual comedy classics, a la Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.  Do yourself a favor and join us for this ‘muy’ (very) funny delight.
