Whisky is a charming film about a sock factory owner, Jacobo, asking his employee, Marta, to be his pretend wife for the weekend, while his brother, Herman, comes to town. Jacobo's silent character looms over the film, while he watches Marta and Herman get closer in their friendship. Herman, an established sock factory owner in another city, has always had the better life of the two brothers.
Whisky introduces the repetition of the characters, which is easily broken by the end of the film. The cinematography adds to the solace to the film, brings the characters together when they go on vacation. The way the routine is broken suggests that maybe Marta left to be with Herman, or find herself a better place instead of the dull life she lived before.
