QUIETUDE, THE
[LA QUIETUD]
In Pablo Trapero's daring follow-up to THE CLAN, sisters Mia and Eugenia, played by Martina Gusmán (LION'S DEN) and Oscar® nominee Bérénice Bejo (THE ARTIST) respectively, reunite when their father suffers a stroke. Eugenia returns to the family estate, where Mia has been living with their parents, enduring a tense relationship with their mother Esmeralda (Graciela Borges, LA CIENEGA). The reunion between the three women is bittersweet, and the disconcertingly close sisters quickly clash over petty disagreements, while long-buried grievances and dark family secrets bubble to the surface. Set against the backdrop of Argentina's bloody military dictatorship, THE QUIETUDE infuses family drama with a political dimension and the tragic underpinnings to match, crafting a disquieting and compelling of a family in turmoil.
