Lucía and Marcelo are young and in love. They have $100.000 in cash to pay for their dream home, but the real estate agent postpones the contract signing. How much will this delay affect their relationship? A high voltage drama unfolds in 24hrs.

Lucía, a chef at a restaurant in Buenos Aires, and Marcelo, a teacher, are thirty years old. They’re young, charm- ing, in love and full of dreams. They’re also carrying a hundred thousand dollars in cash to pay for their dream home. But something comes up for the real estate agent and the signing of the papers is postponed. How much will this delay affect their relationship? In the next tense 24hrs, love turns into hate and flirts with the violence within, as money becomes the catalyst in a seemingly ideal relationship. As the couple test the limits of their coexistence in a desperate race against time, the battle between the sexes takes on the dimensions of a high- octane thriller. Argentinian cinema keeps proving its caliber with another brilliant specimen.

    Dégradé

    13 completely different women are trapped in a beauty salon when violence erupts in the streets of Gaza. A seemingly typical situation comedy cleverly turns into a rather unusual and very timely sociopolitical allegory. Screened in Cannes as part of the Critics' Week competition.

    The Wolfpack

    The Wolfpack

    The must-see documentary of the season! Locked away in their apartment for years, seven siblings find refuge in recreating classic movie scenes, putting together costumes and sets and acting out every single part. The earth-shattering revelation of their everyday drama is beyond your wildest imagination.

    Sleeping Giant

    Sleeping Giant

    Two reckless teenagers befriend a 15-year-old boy and challenge their own limits by doing everything they're not supposed to do, like smoke pot and look death in the eye. A provocative, skin-crawling observation of the teenage psyche that took this year's Critics Week by storm.

    Above and Below
