In this confined space, as the days pass and the van hobbles its way towards its destination, emotions start to ride high and old grudges and jealousies start bubbling to the surface, along with well kept secrets and sexual tensions, new and past.
Excruciating and hilarious in equal measure in its raw depiction of family politics, director Pablo Trapero’s own grandmother, a non-professional actress, plays the family matriarch lending the film reality, charm and sympathy.Pablo Trapero was born in Buenos Aires in 1971. His previous feature films were MUNDO GRÚA (1999), (shown at the Venice Film Festival and which won the Critics Award) and EL BONAERENSE (2002), (shown in the Certain Regard at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival). Trapero also directed NAIKOR, a short film premiered in 2001, and SARASA, a documentary for television (2002).
