Alambrado (English language:Barbed Wire) is a 1991 Italian Argentine film directed and written by Marco Bechis. The film starred Jacqueline Lustig, Martin Kalwill and Arturo Maly.
Synopsis
The southernmost tip of Patagonia, in Argentina near to the Straits of Magellan, is an eerie place, with some of the roughest seas in the world. It is a natural location for a resort for adventuresome travelers, and in this drama, a British corporation has bought up land for that purpose. Only one thing stands between the corporation and its plans: a stubborn Irish rancher who won't sell his land for use as an airport. Rather than consider selling to the corporation, he fences in his land and simultaneously fences in his two late-teenaged children, whose interest in the outside world is prevented by their father's possessive ways. The girl (played by Jacqueline Lustig) is particularly frustrated at this foreclosure of her romantic options.
