Two Love Stories / Two Embraces - Dos Abrazos

12-year-old Paco has just learned that his elder brother is dying of cancer; at the same time he is in love with Silvina, a pretty cashier girl at the local supermarket, who is estranged from her mother. Joaquín is a lonely taxi driver; during a drive to the hospital, he hears about a customer’s complaints about his daughter and decides to step up between them and make peace. Reminiscent of Kieslowski, Two Embraces is a moving film about estrangement, loneliness and the conquering power of love. Award for Best Director at the Tribeca Film Festival.
