Tesoro mio

About This Movie

Tesoro mio is quite the quirky comedy from 1979 that blends farce with an unexpected twist. The protagonist, a playwright who’s really having a rough patch, navigates a maze of betrayal and misplaced trust, especially with a concubine who’s gone and teamed up with a lawyer to undermine him. But the film takes a wild turn when Honey, an Eastern African domestic worker, enters the scene, bringing not just her unique charm but also a shocking billionaire status and royal heritage. The performances are a mix of earnestness and humor, giving it that lively, occasionally chaotic vibe. You can feel the era in its pacing and comedic timing, which kind of adds to its charm, making it distinctively entertaining amidst the usual fare of the late '70s.

Tesoro mio has had a somewhat limited distribution over the years, making physical copies a bit of a rarity among collectors. It’s not exactly mainstream, so that adds an interesting layer for those who enjoy digging up lesser-known titles from the late '70s. The film is often passed over, but for those who appreciate its unique blend of comedy and unexpected plot twists, it has a special place in the hearts of niche collectors.
