The name of the film is an intentional pun: ''abrazo'' means "embrace" and does not make sense followed by ''partido'' "broken" or "gone", but the idiom ''a brazo partido'', literally "with a broken arm", means "(to fight) forcefully, strenuosly".


PLOT SUMMARY


The film depicts episodes in the life of a Jewish family in the Once Neighborhood of Buenos Aires and the other shopkeepers in a low-rent commercial gallery.

The narrator, Ariel Makaroff, is the son of a woman that was deserted by her husband, who went to Israel to fight the Yom Kippur War . The father is in touch with his former wife via telephone and supports their two sons.
