Rebelling against the banality of work, Rodrigo Moreno’s playful and restorative Cannes highlight reinvents the heist film as a free-flowing adventure in which love and epiphanies bloom. A beguiling and defiant quest for personal freedom that dares to embrace the strangeness of life with open arms.

Martín Rejtman’s comeback 11 years after The Magic Gloves did not disappoint. Taking a suicide attempt as the starting point and surprising us at every turn, the film is a fascinating and subversive exercise in comedy: its sophisticated storytelling, dark humor and deadpan beauty are just genius.
