Summary
Martín (Federico Luppi) is an Argentinian write screenwriter and film producer. Five years ago, he went to live to Madrid because he was able to find job in Spain and because he hates Argentina. He have a 19-year-old son, also called Martín (Juan Diego Botto) who is known as Hache. Hache is a young man who doesn't work and doesn't study. One night in a concert, Hache was stood up by his girlfriend. After that, he takes drugs and he suffer a overdose. Everybody in his family thought that Martín was looking for the suicide.
This changed his live: he went to live with his father, in Madrid. There, he'll meet with other people as Dante (Eusebio Poncela), an actor and Martín's friend, or Alicia (Cecilia Roth) Martín's girlfriend.
Personal reflection
Martín (Hache) is, in my opinion, an excellent film: in this movie, you can find reflections about drugs, politics, philosophy... The four main characters (Hache, Martín, Dante and Alicia) represent four different ways to see the world.
Hache is the young people that is misunderstood and need help from adults (but he don't want it, like the young people). Also he think that the revolution, to do real justice, is possible if everybody works to do.
Martín, Hache's father, is more sceptical than his son. He thinks that nobody can change the world. In this moment of the film, Martín express his philosophy about the life. Martín is a solitaire man, he can't live with somebody. He's asocial and egocentric ever with his son and with his girlfriend, Alicia. Martín only wants that Hache have a good present. He lost the hopes with him. Martín hates the nostalgia and the passionate love
Dante, the actor, is a little bit bohemian. He takes drugs (not to work). He says that drugs open his mind. Dante defends that people must life in the way that they think. Most of the time, Dante agrees with Hache's thoughts.
Alicia thinks similar to Dante. She take drugs like him. Although, she falls in love with Martín who don't want marry with anybody. That'll give some problems to both.
In conclusion, I think that Martín (Hache) is an extraordinary film that makes you think about some important themes.
