Rebelling against the banality of work, Rodrigo Moreno’s playful and restorative Cannes highlight reinvents the heist film as a free-flowing adventure in which love and epiphanies bloom. A beguiling and defiant quest for personal freedom that dares to embrace the strangeness of life with open arms.

Argentine director Rodrigo Moreno was exploring questions of distended time and romantic flukes long before The Delinquents. Coloring heartbreak in moody, tobacco-stained hues, this quasi-literary odyssey counts the late Rosario Bléfari among its surfeit of unexpected pleasures.
