Emanuel, a young gay man from Buenos Aires travels to visit his grandma Catie who lives in the countryside. He has a feeling this is going to be their last goodbye.
Entre ríos: todo lo que no dijimos (2014)
A young gay man from Buenos Aires returns to the farm town of his youth to visit his single mother and ailing grandmother. At first he’s eager to make them acknowledge his sexuality, but he comes to realize that, in an underpopulated community where life is determined by age-old farming rituals, it’s more or less irrelevant. Nelson Schmunk wrote, directed, produced, and edited this autobiographical debut feature, which resembles much recent South American art cinema in its understated style and sensitive characterization. The movie may look familiar, but Schmunk’s talent for observational detail gives it a distinctive flavor. The imagery reflects an outsider’s perspective, but also the desire to understand a way of life other than one’s own. In Spanish with subtitles.
