Lost Embrace

2004 · 99 min

A gentle, wry wander through a Buenos Aires arcade, where family secrets and identity are untangled with warmth and quiet humour.

Overview: In Buenos Aires, the twenty-something Jewish-Argentinean Ariel Makaroff ditches the University of Architecture and spends his time wandering through the downtown gallery where his mother has a lingerie shop and his brother runs an importation business. Ariel has never understood why his father left him when he was a baby, but when his dad returns to Argentina, that will soon change.
