Synopsis

Matias and his mother Laura, find themselves forced to hurriedly abandon the house they live in to escape another outburst of violence from Fabian. Matias is 8 and Laura is newly pregnant. Thus they begin a wandering journey in search of a place where they can feel safe and protected.

Our take

A strikingly honest look at gender violence that confirms Diego Lerman as one of the great Argentine filmmakers of his generation. Told through the eyes of a child, the film assuredly plays with the off-screen space building outstanding tension of what we don’t see.
