It's the surprising but effective payoff to Don Justo's journey that has the most emotional pull, which is due in no small part to newcomer Benedicti's performance.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 28, 2005

Vacuous road movie in which vacant characters receive rewards that far outweigh their uninspired goals.

Almost every frame of this modest gem of a movie, directed by Carlos Sorin from a screenplay by Pablo Solarz, conveys the emptiness of the environment in which three interwoven vignettes unfold.
