Winner of numerous awards, including best first film at the LFF in October 2011. A spare, simple story about loneliness, loss and hope, told with great humanity and minimal dialogue that imperceptibly immerses the viewer into the situation. Set largely in the cab of a truck on a journey between Paraguay and Buenos Aires, it’s a wonderful mixture of imaginative cinematography and sound with superb, naturalistic acting from the three principal characters (one, an 18 month old baby!). A delightful and fascinating film that will touch and move you.

Director: Pablo Giorgelli
