Winner of the Sutherland Award at this years London Film Festival, and several awards at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, including the prestigious Camera D’Or, Pablo Giorgelli’s critically acclaimed road movie LAS ACACIAS was a festival favourite, and Giorgelli singled out as ‘one to watch’.
With pitch-perfect performances from character actor German de Silva and newcomer Hebe Duarte, LAS ACACIAS tells the story of a long distance lorry driver (German de Silva) who agrees to drive a woman (Hebe Duarte) and her 5 month old child en route from Paraguay to Buenos Aires. A subtle and tender road movie exploring loneliness and the pain of loss, LAS ACACIAS grows into a searingly poignant tale about a passing encounter between two strangers and the unlikely bond that grows between them.
