Synopsis

Santiago Mitre’s directorial debut follows Roque, a young man who moves to Buenos Aires to attend college and gets wrapped up in the strange world of student government and politics.

Our take

Before embarking on his directorial debut, Santiago Mitre wrote scripts for fellow Argentine Pablo Trapero. Turning to their nation’s histories of violence in this gripping film, he twisted together the thrills of sex, politics, and education and won Special Jury Prizes in Locarno and Buenos Aires!
