Known For
A Grain of Rice from a House Where No One Has Died
A woman who will die soon tells her three children that she wants to do so with as little intervention as possible. They don't know how much of that desire they will be able to fulfill. Accompanying her in her decision makes them confront the way in which our civilization conceives death. Taking charge of preparing this farewell while their mother is still alive will be a mysterious and revealing way to be together.
Fire Supply

Romina Smile
Romina has been working as a promoter for more than 20 years and, about to turn 40, faces few and poorly paid job offers. Her last days at work take her to bars and events. He decides to leave it, but in a Buenos Aires with crisis and unemployment, he cannot re-enter the labor market.
In Here
Inside David’s lives a troubled, doubtful, neurotic young man.
So Long Enthusiasm
Ten-year-old Axel lives with his mother and three sisters in a flat in Buenos Aires. They’d be a perfectly normal family if only the mother weren't imprisoned in one of the rooms.
The Defendant
Silvia, a single mother and a lawyer, is implicated in a corruption scandal. But in addition to trouble at work, she is also facing a more crippling problem: her mother’s cancer has returned. While she is forced to face up to her mother’s inconceivable yet inescapable death, Silvia embarks on a love story, her first in many years.
Blood
Fernando, a naval officer, arrives in the city of Rosario to work on an oil tanker. But his move seems to conceal other motives.
Dear Renzo
Two young Argentines, brought together by chance, wander the streets of New York City, increasingly lost in a maze of currency exchange, translation problems, religious vocation and nocturnal flirtation.
The Face of the Jellyfish
It is no coincidence that the second feature by Argentinian Melisa Liebenthal begins with a quote from “Duino Elegies” by Rilke, who was concerned with existential angst. And, more prosaically, Marina, the film’s young protagonist, is faced with similar anxiety. In fact, her problem is her face. One morning, she discovers her face has changed, and she can no longer recognise herself. Not even her mother can, who bumps into her on the street and says hello to her like she would to any stranger (deadpan, surreal humor is part of the film’s recipe). Marina is thus forced to confront her identity: who is she? Is she determined by her parent’s DNA or by her ID card? Can she be identified by a family portrait, by biometrics or the love of those around her, including her Colombian boyfriend? Is she prettier now?
The Pleasure Is Mine
Antonio wanders the streets of Buenos Aires in search of money and sex. The magnetism he exerts on the people who cross his path allows him to steal and cheat them. Only his mother, with whom he has a confictual relationship, will get over his feeling of impunity and will push him to leave for a trip to the south of Argentina.
