When a woman is admitted by her daughters to a psychiatric clinic for her carefree ways, an expert must judge if she is ill or simply wants to enjoy life.
"27 Nights is an Argentine dramedy indirectly based on the case of writer and artist Natalia Kohen, who in 2005 spent 27 nights hospitalized in a nursing home by her daughters, who filed a lawsuit claiming her mother suffered from senile dementia to prevent her from squandering her inheritance. The story follows Martha Hoffman (a wonderful Marilú Marini) and, in parallel, the court-appointed expert (played by director Daniel Hendler) sent to determine whether the octogenarian truly has dementia as her daughters claim. At times, the film feels like a paranoid thriller due to the nature of the case, but overall it unfolds as a charming and funny comedy of errors about an unlikely friendship."
