Description
 
Set in the lush northern wetlands of Argentina, this minimalist, contemplative drama deals with the bipolar chemistry between Alvaro (Jorge Roman), a quiet, homosexual fisherman, and the local ferryman (Daniel Valenzuela), who secretly pines for Alvaro but bullies him to save face in front of his crew. "Beautifully textured [black-and-white] widescreen lensing conveys everything La Leon wants to say about isolation and longing" (Variety). Winner of a Special Mention at the 2007 Berlin Film Festival. In Spanish with English subtitles.

Santiago Otheguy---Argentina---2007---85 mins.
