The Sentimental Teaser (Spanish: El Chacotero Sentimental) is a 1999 Chilean film directed by Cristián Galaz. The protagonist is a DJ named Rumpy, and his listeners call in to the radio station to tell their stories.
A 2007 sequel was released, titled Radio Corazón.
Summary
The film, which premiered in Chile on October 28, 1999, is based on the radio show "El chacotero sentimental" (The Sentimental Jester). The plot follows a typical day of the show, where the Rumpy (Roberto Artiagoitía), the host, receives three phone calls from two men and a woman who share their stories, ranging from laughter to tears, but always receiving wise advice from the Rumpy, better known as "the sentimental jester" himself, and a song to liven up the situation, which is always introduced by the popular phrase: "we're going to play you a song". These stories make up the plot of the movie, with the first and third being comedic, and the second being more dramatic. The radio show is one of the most popular and listened to in Chile, and the colloquial language used by "El Rumpi" on the air allows the Chilean audience to understand all the details of the lustful stories that the callers share.
