Description

From the director of the critically acclaimed LA CIÉNAGA and THE HOLY GIRL comes another Gordian Knot of a story in which questions of perception, memory, and interpretation threaten the placid surface of an upper-middle-class life. Verónica (María Onetto), a middle-aged dentist driving alone on a deserted road, hits what she thinks to be a dog while distracted by her cell phone. In the days that follow, she becomes obsessed by the conviction that she actually hit a boy, but every person and circumstance in her life seems to suggest that the incident never happened at all. (BS) Screened in 2018 as part of Lucrecia Martel's Salta Trilogy.
