Our take

Playfully guided by the literary magic of Shakespeare, this beguiling drama from prolific Argentinian filmmaker Matías Piñeiro plumbs the muddy waters of life and art. Lush open-air shots of green foliage and babbling brooks make for a calming reprieve from the uncertainties of the creative process.
