DUTCH PREMIERE!
A deeply atmospheric and eerily gripping thriller, set in the stunning landscape of the Patagonian hills in the 1960s, about an innocent family who unknowingly welcomes a strange man into their home. An Engaging, tense and chilling tale that explores the conditions in Argentina that allowed a notorious criminal to continue his heinous experiments. As in her previous film XXY, Puenzo again immerses us in the world of an adolescent girl as she becomes aware of the emotional conflicts she sparks and the impact she has on the adults around her. This is a consistently intriguing, wonderfully atmospheric film from one of the world’s top female directors.
