Special Presentation:
LOCK CHARMER [El cerrajero]
Introduction by Beatriz Urraca (co-editor of “Directory of World Cinema: Argentina), plus post-screening reception sponsored by the Embassy of Argentina on Oct 4
In 2008, a bizarre fog covered Buenos Aires for three weeks. It is during this strange time that 33-year-old locksmith Sebastian (Esteban Lamothe) has his first brush with the supernatural. When he unlocks a door, he gets a brief glimpse into the client's life. Sebastian's life is further complicated when an ex turns up pregnant and a troubled Peruvian maid holes up in his bachelor pad. Filmmaker Natalia Smirnoff has created a charming dramedy with a winning dash of magical realism. Official Selection, 2014 Sundance and Cartagena Film Festivals.
