ECUADOR - Heads or Tails
Cara o cruz

One was exiled to New York by their remote father (now veging out in a retirement home) at the age of eight, her life there a succession of troubled love affairs. The other, despite a husband and two children, secretly receives passionate love letters from another man. Marital upheavals and a death ensue from this dangerous synergy. First feature in eight years from the brilliant director of LA TIGRA and BETWEEN MARX AND A NAKED WOMAN Luzuriaga [AFI guest 96].
