La nube

In a surreal, rain-drenched Buenos Aires plagued by years of unending downpours, a tight-knit independent theater troupe fights to defend their historic playhouse against imminent sale and demolition. Under the steadfast guidance of their director, the struggling actors confront municipal indifference, personal hardships, and creeping disillusionment as they stage an impassioned cultural resistance.

  • Surreal. Raw. Real. So timely that it's scary. You truly saw it coming, Pino. And in the end: there is no choice but to resist.

  • My god, how incredible that 28 years later we are still walking backwards. Everything cannot be surrendered, and everything cannot be sold. Thank you for so much, Pino.

  • A country walking backwards: demolitions and endless rain, the howling of dogs and the weeping of people. Surviving in Argentina through theater amidst the neoliberal nightmare of the nineties. The fables we invent in order to survive. And when all seems lost, a cloud of people and a full house. We must resist! Long live Pino Solanas!
    Bauti Godoy on Letterboxd
