Their drug
deal double cross gone sour, Luciano Suardi, his girlfriend Letizia
Lestido and his transvestite brother Humberto Tortonese [as 'Wendy'] stop
off, en route to refuge in Paraguay, at his family home in an
out-of-season seaside resort town. But this is no reunion. Dad Mario
Paolucci has never reconciled with 'Wendy,' the whole family routinely
takes drugs like a meal-and enraged dealers are in pursuit. With minimal
dialogue and no music before the final credits, this is a stark,
atmospheric debut. Un certain regard, Cannes Festival.
Cuando todo sale mal con una doble jugada de narconegocios, Luciano
Sardi, su novia Letizia Lestido y su hermano travesti, Humberto Tortonese
[“Wendy”], deciden huirse a Paraguay, con un desvío para visitar la casa
de su familia cerca del mar. Pero no es exactamente un escape. Su padre,
Mario Palucci, no se ha reconciliado con Wendy, las drogas son el pan de
cada día para toda la familia y los enfurecidos distribuidores de drogas
los persiguen. Con diálogo mínimo y sin música antes de los créditos
finales, es un debut atmosférico y severo. Un certain regard,
Festival de Cannes.
