An Argentinean lesbian
couple, Mora and Roberta, urgently wants to have a child. But where will they
get what's um, needed to do so? A plan is hatched: Roberta will seduce
and have sex with Felipe, Mora's brother (coincidentally enough, Felipe artificially
inseminates turkeys for a living). Sure enough, things won't go so smoothly. Felipe isn't easy
to seduce, and when an unexpected visitor turns up with surprising news,
ever one will get more than what they 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.
