The Man Next Door is something like Cape of Fear, with calculated frames and exquisite and aseptic images.To Rafael Spregelburd and, mainly, the most appropriate Daniel Aráoz, the vests of Nick Nolte and Robert De Niro do not seem to weigh nothing to them.

    • Synopsis
    • Leonardo is an important industrial designer who lives with his wife Anne, his daughter Lola and the maid Elba, in the only house built in America by the great architect Le Corbusier. One morning the routine and calm of his home is affected by the beginning of a building work on the house next to him. A neighbor pretends to make an illegal window with the view towards his house. Victor, the neighbor, is a strange and extrovert character. Extremely friendly but at the same time with threatening attitudes makes in Leonardo a strong rejection and an unmanageable submission. This incident begins to take to Leonardo all his time and interest, moving him away from his routine work and family. Suddenly a fortuitous event brings him a controversial solution to the problem
