My last adventure

A poor boy decides to stop being a poor boy and, together with his friend, tries to run away taking a bag full of money from his boss. The last night in his hometown is a review by way of farewell to the two friends for the places, the emotion and the songs that marked their lives.

Dusk

A landguard and his son go on patrol in a border area, where an invisible danger looms.

A Moonless Night

A divorced taxi driver shows up with a black eye at the home of his ex-wife’s new family; he’s been invited to dinner and he desperately wants to reconnect with his young daughter. A professional magician’s car breaks down and he ends up spending an emotionally intense night with a young, widowed toll booth worker. A singer songwriter serving a lengthy prison sentence is released for one night to perform at a local community centre. These three deeply engaging stories about yearning for connection unfold in parallel, one New Year’s Eve in a small town in central Uruguay, balancing the universality of human suffering with a powerful sense of hope.
