Elsa y Fred (Elsa and Fred) is a 2005 Spanish-Argentine film co-production directed by Marcos Carnevale and starring Manuel Alexandre, China Zorrilla and Federico Luppi.

Synopsis

Fred, a recently widowed Spaniard in his 70s who has led a quiet life, retires to an apartment in Madrid. Elsa, a similarly-aged but more colorful Argentinian and a chronic liar, is his neighbor. Fred has no significant health problems but is a hypochondriac. Elsa is seriously ill and undergoing dialysis but hides it from Fred. The two fall in love. Elsa throws Fred into situations the widower would have disapproved of before he met her, making him "live life and not death". Once Fred learns Elsa will probably die, he pays all their expenses for a trip to Rome to fulfill Elsa's lifelong wish of reenacting Fellini's famous scene starring Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg under the Fontana di Trevi in La Dolce Vita.

En Patagonie, les années 1880 voient les derniers affrontements entre Indiens et colons. Le colonel Garay, commandant de l'avant-poste fortifié d'un village, ambitionne de faire de l'Argentine un grand pays moderne et, pour s'y établir, accueille sa jeune femme Marguerite venue de Paris. Garay prépare l'arrivée de la voie ferrée et cette nouvelle infrastructure attire autant d'émigrants comme l'institutrice, que la convoitise d'autochtones comme Maître Pacheco qui rêve d'accaparer le plus de terre possible. Madame Yvonne, patronne de la maison close locale va l'y aider moyennant des compensations. Pendant que Marguerite, désorientée dans ce Nouveau Monde, s'attache à civiliser une jeune Indienne captive, la garnison prépare une fête pour l'arrivée du train et l'on commence à attribuer les lopins de terre aux soldats les plus valeureux. Les Indiens profitent de ces moments de relâche de surveillance pour passer à l'attaque. Garay y laisse sa vie, ce qui incite Marguerite à demeurer en Argentine.

José is an aging anarchist who decides to get even with the corporation that stole $15,344 from his family 18 years ago. When confronted by the yuppie manager, Pedro Mendoza, José threatens to kill himself and orders him to hand in the requested amount of money. In the ensuing chaos, Pedro stumbles upon a drawer holding half a million dollars, and puts it all in the bag. He then asks José to take him hostage so that the police will not shoot them, and both drive away successfully.
