A Loose End

2025 · 95 min

A wry, low-key chase through dusty border towns, mixing quiet suspense with deadpan charm and a drifter's fragile hope.

Overview
Santiago, an Argentine police corporal, crosses the border into Uruguay fleeing from other police officers who are looking for him. Using his uniform, he inspects regional food stalls, sampling dairy products and cold cuts to survive, while trying to go unnoticed among the locals. Without money or lodging, but with empathy and cunning, he begins to plot a new life, receiving help from local characters he meets along the way and even finding what he believes to be the love of his life.
