Los Vecinos en Guerra (Spanish: Neighbors at War) is an Argentine television comedy starring Diego Torres, Eleonora Wexler and Mike Amigorena and originally aired on Underground contenidos.[1]
Plot
Mecha (Eleonora Wexler) is a housewife almost 40, who 20 years ago was part of a group of con artists -something she has kept a secret until today. In the past Mecha worked with Alex (Mike Amigorena), who was recruited for this type of tasks and became his first love, and Ciro (Luis Ziembrowski) who planned and financed the scams. A robbery failed and the group disbanded. Mecha, with a changed identity, began a new life away from scams. Mecha never told her husband Rafael (Diego Torres) his secret, and while they are happy, she is a little bored with her role as mother of three and wife. A morning like any other, they discover that the most luxurious house in the neighborhood is being abandoned in a hurry and that immediately after a new family moves: the Mayorga. Mecha, seeing them, is shocked to discover that the family man is none other than Alex, her former lover and partner in thefts whom she believed dead. He tells Mecha that Ciro has been released from prison after 20 years and seeks revenge on his former teammates, for he believes they betrayed them and ran away with the loot of the failed heist. Alex vows to protect Mecha's life and hires a group of actors-turned-con men to pretend to be a normal family and thus, to be near her family unnoticed.
Reception
The 2013 prime time of Argentine television is highly disputed by the channels El Trece and Telefe. El Trece airs Solamente Vos and Farsantes, and Telefe airs Los Vecinos en Guerra and Celebrity Splash!, both channels with similar ratings.[2]
