The plot follows Captain Pantaleón Pantoja, a straightlaced army captain put in charge of creating a brothel for the army, in order to reduce the incidence of rape surrounding army bases and outposts. The first half of the movie focuses on the humor of the situation, as Pantaleon runs the brothel like an efficient branch of the army. The second half is more dramatic as the captain is changed by running the army brothel and focuses on his relationship with the prostitute Olga "the Colombian".
The film is a Peruvian-Spanish co-production,[3] by América Producciones alongside Inca Films and Tornasol Films, with the participation of Vía Digital [es].[4]
Release
The film premiered in Peru in late 1999.[5] Its Spanish theatrical release was scheduled for 30 June 2000.[6]
The North-American release features a runtime of 119 minutes.[7]
