The Face (2013)
The Face (2013)
Overview
This Argentine documentary, directed by Gustavo Fontán, follows a man who returns by boat to an island on the Paraná River, a place where his childhood home once stood. What he finds is absence. What he summons, through memory and grief, is everyone he has loved. The film works as a quiet meditation on family, loss, and the way places hold the dead. Its Leans Traditional label reflects that core orientation: the relationships on screen are a conventional family unit, the emotional weight centers on filial bonds and mourning, and the film carries no political or social agenda. It is a personal reckoning with roots, rendered through landscape and silence.
Starring Cast
Pedro Gabas • MarÍa del Huerto Ghiggi • Gustavo Hennekens
