As if filling out the profile for a dating app, the director dissects his story and builds a log of desire.
El Silencio De Los Hombres (Country: Argentina; Year: 2023; Director: Lucia Lubarsky)
A father and a son bound by family norms finally decide to talk. Bicho, Emma and Andrés discuss what's expected of them as men. The director starts from the men of her family to reach strangers. She investigates the fears, complicities, contradictions and violent situations they experience as men. What do they have to deal with?
