El Frasco tells the story of Romina, a schoolteacher who asked a very peculiar favor from the local bus driver; to deliver her urine sample to Buenos Aires for analysis. However, the jar with the urine sample breaks, unleashing a very comical chain of events. Directed by Alberto Lecchi, and produced by Zarlek Producciones.
