Nicolás Bellati

A man and a woman, brother and sister. A big old country house. Silence. It´s a summer morning. When he goes to the town to buy something, she wanders in the back yard. But is she alone? The animals look at her. The parrots cry on the trees. Later, he gives her a present: a pair of white shoes. He makes her try them on. The light pours into her naked legs, she enjoys the gift. Time is infinite. But something inside of him changes and he leaves the room. In the kitchen, they begin to chop some fruit. Bright, juicy and shiny slices of peaches. Suddenly, in the distance, a dog starts to bark. He wants to know where they left the shovel. He goes out of the house. Everything turns to silence again.

In a house in Delta, in a quiet interrupted only by the noise of the boats, a couple lives without crossing each other. He is a writer waiting for the words; she is an alienated employee of the Exterminator House . The relationship crisis (with the domestic, with the other, with the writing, with the present) seems to last in personal trips mixing loneliness and something hypnotic about this world. There is a contemplative realism that contains everything, partly as a perplexed look, but also as a way to analyze a strange corruption where the ordinary is transformed, where the mundane is reflected in the rippling waters of the river until it reflects another face. But an unexpected change in the course of a character will change his life and the tone of the film... This debut film directed, written and performed by Roman Cardenas bet on a visual narrative with brief interruptions of words, where the everyday can coexist to confuse the mystery, absurdity and revelation.
