”There’s universal pleasure to be had in the film’s inventive vision of a fugitive”
Lee Marshal, Screen Daily

Santiago, an Argentinian police constable, crosses the border to Uruguay on the run from the other police officers on his trail. Putting his uniform to good use, he inspects regional food stalls, testing milk products and cold cuts to survive, while trying to go unnoticed among the locals. With neither money nor a place to stay, but with kindness and wit, he starts to carve out a new life for himself, receiving help from the local characters who cross his path, and even meeting the person he believes could be the love of his life.

Premiering at the Venice Film Festival last year, A LOOSE END is the 3rd feature film as a director by the renowned Uruguayan actor Daniel Hendler.

Followed by the OPENING NIGHT PARTY!!
