'Homo Argentum' confirms its premiere on Disney+ for December 2025

After dominating the big screen, Homo Argentum, starring Guillermo Francella, already has a release date on Disney+. The film, directed by Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat, stood out as the most-watched Argentine production of the post-pandemic era.

The film decided to delay its arrival on streaming to continue attracting audiences to theaters. Now, fans will be able to enjoy it from the comfort of their homes starting December 19, 2025.

Success in theaters and record audience numbers

According to consulting firm UltraCine, by August 31, 1,382,398 viewers had seen Homo Argentum in Argentine theaters. The film surpassed one million tickets sold in just 11 days, showing its impact and popularity.

Disney+ confirms that the film will remain available in theaters until its digital release, offering the option to enjoy the work on the big screen before it arrives on streaming.

Homo Argentum: a portrait of Argentines

The film is structured in sixteen satirical portraits, where Francella plays different characters representing various social and cultural layers of the country. Each role required extreme transformations and meticulous characterization work.

From an international film director to a street vendor or a family father, the characters explore tensions such as opportunism, double standards, soccer idolatry, and the "canuto" culture.

Inspiration and style of the work

The script, by Andrés Duprat together with Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat, is inspired by classics of Italian comedy. It builds a mosaic of autonomous stories that invite reflection on contemporary Argentine society.

Francella defines the film as "a painting of who we are, with our virtues and miseries", celebrating the country's contradictions. The work combines humor, satire, and sensitivity to offer a thought-provoking and entertaining experience about the Argentine national identity.
