A moving story, a sample of human misery and what we live in the world we live in. I must say that I have not seen many Joaquin Furriel movies and had no positive preconception of him, however in this film it has a superlative, poignant performance.
In addition to the abuse and slavery, the film focusing on butcher shops and how to work with these important shops for most Argentines. There is shown from the inside as the patron forces his employee to wash with vinegar and chlorine rotting flesh and use it to make burgers, sausages or return it to the gondola regardless of the health of customers. The other major axis of "El Patrón ..." is the action of justice, because in the first instance Hermogenes Saldivar was assigned a shift defender who never went to meet him in jail and his luck changed when Elijah Neuman took over his case because he seemed to see in this man a victim rather than a murderer. "In the specific case of Hermogenes he may be lucky enough to have 'justice', so that was thanks to a committed attorney wanted to help. If fate had not occurred he had been a victim of judicial bureaucracy, "said the film's director Highly recommended
