Wikipedia article
'Plata dulce' (meaning "easy money", literally "sweet money") is an Argentine comedy drama-historic film. It was released on 8 July 1982 and directed by Fernando Ayala, starring Federico Luppi, Julio de Grazia and Gianni Lunadei. It received a Cndor de Plata award for best film in 1983.
During this historic period in Argentina, many labour rights were suspended and industrial production fell to extremely low levels, while banks started rising and external debt grew practically exponentially. The result of these economic politics (which aimed for 'easy money') was one of the biggest disasters in the country's history, producing a large loss of its industry and bringing large part of the population into poverty.[http://www.clarin.com/suplementos/especiales/2006/03/24/l-01164108.htm A 30 aos de la noche ms larga - Economa: Martnez de Hoz y la patria financiera.

Plot
Two businessmen dedicated to manufacturing and selling bathroom cabinets struggle to keep their factory running through a series of deep deindustrialization politics being pushed by the country's National Reorganization Process. One of them, Carlos Bonifatti, gets a chance at working in a bank and decides to stop manufacturing cabinets and dedicate fully to financial businesses which seem to be rising. The other partner, Rubn Molinuevo, sticks to the factory work. At the beginning the choice seems good for Bonifatti, who highly improves his living standards, but shortly after the tables will turn for both of them.
