Choele

2013 · 87 min

A gentle, sun-dappled coming-of-age story that drifts like a river, capturing the ache and wonder of a boy on the cusp of adolescence.

Tagline
Coco is an eleven-year-old kid who intensely wishes to be a grown-up, to be a man.
Overview
A rushing river caresses the life of a small town in southern Argentina: Choele Choel. Coco is an eleven-year-old kid who intensely wishes to be a grown-up, to be a man. A walk along the river with Johana -his new Venezuelan neighbor- initiates Coco in the adult world. But his father and life itself slow him down and make him feel small and insignificant; just a child. When life gets complicated it is probably best to let oneself go with the flow and float down the river like a drifting log.
