Synopsis

Mop-haired hustler Victor plies his trade amidst the seedy, nocturnal denizens of Buenos Aires with the grim threat of violence simmering just below the surface. Threatening strangers, an attempted murder, and the remembrance of a past love combine to send Victor on a soul-searching, surreal urban odyssey in this sharp drama helmed by veteran Argentine director Edgardo Cozarinsky.

Review

This dark, sensitive tale of an atypical night in the life of Victor, a 20-year-old Buenos Aires prostitute, puts a fresh, intelligent twist on the frequently told drama of young male hustlers. Victor plies his trade in a foreboding, seedy world with its nocturnal denizens – horny businessmen, drug addicts, fellow prostitutes, transvestites, and the homeless- and the threat of violence simmering just below the surface of most encounters. Projecting a cool nonchalance bordering on insensitivity, the handsome, mop-haired young Victor feels at peace with both this world and his trade.

The night, however, quickly takes on an ominous feel after he narrowly escapes being hit by a car right after midnight and the beginning of All Souls Days. He is haunted by this brush with death, and as the night wears on, other incidents – threatening strangers, a friend who almost kills him after sex, the remembrance of a past love – combine to create for Victor, a subtle, surreal urban odyssey.

Veteran director Edgardo Cozarinsky weaves a fascinating portrait of a young man forced to confront his past, his present and his future. (Spanish with English subtitles)
