[edit] Synopsis

Acrobacias del corazón was the first film where Marisa Teresa Costantini took the central roll of a consecrated director and actress. Ironically the film centres around the life of a film director, Marisa (María Teresa Constantini), her current husband Jorge (Gabriel Goity and the directors best friend Lucia (Cecilia Dopazo) a successful trapeze artist in the circus who are involved in a love triangle.

In the film the fictional film director Marisa is currently planning to produce a new romantic film which her present husband Jorge wrote the script for thinking lustfully about Lola (Virginia Innocenti), the best friend of Marisa.

In real life, a time ago in her personal life director and actress María Teresa Constantinisuffered a marriage separation and a long legal process which resulted in her acquiring a substantial sum of money which she used to establish Buenos Aires Productions. This real life situation is reflected through the film director she actaully portays in the film although the film is far more exaggerated in a a world of romances, passions, treasons and deceits, in which the men are idiotic, cowardly and weak.

From the beginning to the end of the film there is always evidence of an extravagant lifestyle with luxurious cars and glamourous women and suave men. The film reflects the paradise of an upper middle class that seems to live on another planet than the poor as shown by the trapeze artists different life experiences to the director that Costantini portrays in the film. Along with the prevalent themes of love, passion, deceit and adultery the film also identifies these differences in class.
