An Unexpected Love

When Ana (Morán, Neruda, The Motorcycle Diaries) and Marco (Darín, Truman, Wild Tales) arrive at the airport to farewell their son Luciano, who is leaving his Argentine homeland to study abroad, they are filled with certainty that they’ve done well as parents.

However his departure leaves a significant hole in their everyday lives, and after more than twenty years of marriage, both reluctantly come to admit that their feelings for each other have shifted. So as if it were one last project together, Ana and Marco decide to consciously uncouple, and begin to explore the surprising and sometimes wonderful world of the newly-single, to hilarious and unexpected results.

This wonderful showcase for its two leads unsurprisingly stormed the local box office, becoming one of Argentina’s biggest hits of the year.

Intelligent, warm and wise, AN UNEXPECTED LOVE is a sheer delight.

Critic Reviews:

• ” A love story, real, open, with shades of comedy and life between its lines. “ – Victor Pineyro

• ” A fascinatingly talky, intelligent drama with comic moments. Apart from being beautifully mounted visually, it’s also flawlessly acted. “ – Lynden Barber

• ” Comedies like this are rare – not just for the mature age range, but for the wisdom packed into the observation. It’s a sophisticated comedy, born out of experience. “ – Paul Byrnes
