A young Brazilian girl, Laura (Rebecca Rosato), has come to Argentina to visit her aunt but once there, schedules don’t work out – her aunt has forgotten that she’s coming to town – and all her luggage is lost in her taxi and what follows is an all-night adventure through a crazy night, ala After Hours. Usually, it’s men that have these late night adventures, but this movie puts its female traveler into some strange places with even odder folks.

Directed by Matías Szulanski, who wrote it with Victoria Freidzon, this was quite the journey. Buenos Aires offers a strange birthday party, a broken nose and so much pizza. It feels dirty, haphazard and at the end, authentic, even if these are the kind of nights that can only happen in a movie. I really liked the look of this film. It feels like being out all night with nowhere else to go, nowhere better to be and we all know nothing good for you happens at 11 PM.

You can watch this and many other films at CFF by buying a pass on their website. Over the next few days, I’ll be posting reviews and articles and updating my Letterboxd list of watches.
