The Damned Rib (Spanish: Esa maldita costilla) is a 1999 comedy film starring some of the most famous actresses of Argentina and Spain: Susana Giménez, Betiana Blum, Rossy de Palma and Loles León.
Plot
Astrologer Lila (León), literature teacher Margarita (de Palma), erotic-line telephonist Rosa (Blum), and recently divorced faithful wife Azucena (Giménez) all live in the same apartment building. One night, they decide to go together to have fun by attending a show of male striptease. Juan (Luis Brandoni), the taxi driver who brings them to the club, pays attention to a conversation in which each of the women describe their own ideal of a man. From that moment on, Juan dedicates himself to woo each of them one by one by assuming the different personalities of each of the women's ideal man. The plot is soon discovered and the four ladies come to an agreement: to share their ideal man and spend one week each with him.
