In a gentle and deeply touching road movie, a poignant relationship slowly grows between a lonely truck driver, Rubén and a single mother, Jacinta who travels with her 8-month-old baby Anahí. Initially reluctant, Rubén gradually warms to his passengers on the long journey from Asunción del Paraguay to Buenos Aires and the skilfully restrained direction from first-time feature filmmaker Pablo Giorgelli draws deeply resonant performances of few words from his two lead actors. A subtle and rewarding emotional drama, Las Acacias won the prestigious Camera d’Or, the new filmmakers’ prize at Cannes Film Festival.
