Barbed Wire (Spanish: Alambrado) is a 1991 Argentine and Italian film written and directed by Marco Bechis.^[1] The film stars Jacqueline Lustig, Martin Kalwill, and Arturo Maly.

Premise

The southernmost tip of Patagonia, in Argentina near to the Straits of Magellan, is an interesting place, with some of the roughest seas in the world.

It's a good location for a resort for travelers. As such, a British corporation has purchased property to build an airport.

However, holding up plans is a stubborn Irish rancher who won't sell his land.

In order to fight the proposed plans, he fences in his land and at the same time fences in his two late-teenaged children.

Eva Logan (Jacqueline Lustig) is particularly frustrated at this event as it prevents any romantic options she has.
