La Tigra, Chaco

La Tigra, Chaco. A quiet town only 20 blocks long. Esteban returns after years of absence to the place where he spent his childhood summers. He returns looking for his father, Cacho, and to talk “about Buenos Aires”. But Cacho, who has formed a new family in La Tigra, is always on the road, on his truck, and so the re-encounter is postponed indefinitely. However, while he waits, Esteban meets Vero, a childhood friend that has grown up to become a beautiful woman. Each step they take together seems to take them back to the most precious moments of a shared memory. But their relationship is not a journey into the past; rather it holds the possibility of the future. Federico Godfrid´s and Juan Sasiaín´s first feature film transmits the warmth, honesty and sadness of this re-encounter, thanks to its mise en scène and the performances of Ezequiel Tronconi and Guadalupe Docampo, who give their characters an uncommon spontaneity. –Cine//B
