Errante corazón

Argentina

Leonardo Brzezicki

After having spent a whole night at a party ina luxurious penthouse in Buenos Aires, Santiago (43) a true "man under the influence” returns home in the early morning hours only to realize that he’s accidentally locked up his teenage daughter Laila, (17) who’s missed her graduation party. Feeling sorry for what he’s done to her Santiago promises to do anything she wants in order to make her happy. “I wanna see mum” she replies. This behavior is characteristic of Santiago’s emotional roller coaster ride where he’s trying to have it all without realizing that he might lose all together. Having been left recently by his longtime boyfriend Luis due to his erratic behavior, Santiago is so desperate to please everyone around him that he neglects the needs of his daughter Laila, who struggles to define her own identity, as adulthood is looming hard over her. They both embark on a trip, which will take them to Brazil where Laila will meet her estranged mother, an emotionally unstable actress. Laila will briefly fantasize with “conventional” family life but she’ll find out that all that paradise is not what it seemed at first. Santiago plagued by the feeling of not knowing what to feel, unstoppably marches forward in his life, like an elephant in a porcelain shop, trying to make amends and changes to his own life without realizing that his actions have effects on the ones he’s the closest. This chaotic summer in Argentina and in Brazil will become a turning point in both their lives and as well as in their relationship.
A journey full of contrast, contradiction and passion, creating a puzzle of life in the spectacularly bankrupt Argentina post 2001, where Santiago dances his way from party to party on his quest only to love and to be loved.
