Section: Visiones Latinas
After surviving a terrible car crash involving his wife and young daughter, Santiago checks himself out of hospital and flees to remote, wintry southern Patagonia where he takes odd jobs in a tiny "town" built around a small airfield. Here he loses himself in manual labour, casual sex, sense-dimming drugs and the chatty companionship of his new neighbors and colleagues. But from time to time his emotions - a gruelling combination of grief, guilt and bereavement - rise irresistibly to the surface... Neil Young's Film Lounge
