Synopsis

Iván Bilbao returns home to the city of Chascomús, Argentina, after five years in prison. His wife, Yamila, and his little daughter, Luz, are waiting for him. Pedro Speroni's camera infiltrates this family trying to get back to normality, almost as if it were an invisible character, and shows that it is anything but easy. Ivan goes back to boxing and to his job as a moneylender while the ambivalent nature of his character is revealed, swinging between tenderness towards his family and outbreaks of inexplicable violence. With the arrival of a new son, there is a path of hope for a better future, and it pushes Ivan to question his own childhood and the cyclical, repetitive, circumstance-driven nature of violence.

Reviews

With some high-impact scenes (more emotional than violent) and with an intimacy and closeness (...) Speroni not only understands the challenges facing Ivan and his family but does so without judgment.
