About this product

Product Information

Argentinian director Carlos Sorin offers a humble yet richly touching film with INTIMATE STORIES, which weaves together the stories of three travelers, each of whom is on a quest to gain something potentially life-changing. This gentle portrait unfolds as three ordinary yet compelling individuals leave from the small village of Fitz Roy in Argentina's Southern Patagonia to travel a day's distance to achieve their dreams. There is Don Justo (Antonio Benedictis), the grocery store owner whose journey will reunite him with his long-lost dog; Roberto (Javier Lombardo), who is traveling to woo a recent widow; and Maria (Javiera Bravo), who has the opportunity to win much-needed prizes on a game show. The film follows each of these appealing characters as they follow possible paths to happiness, and the director maintains a warm respect for his subjects throughout. Don, Roberto, and Pedro all show their desire for the goals of their trip so deeply that the audience is pulled into emotional complicity with the unassuming travelers. The film alternates between poignant comedy and human drama, contrasting the characters' small, personal experiences with the vast, remote landscape of Southern Argentina. The beautiful setting of the film emphasizes the idea that the most individual and seemingly inconsequential of experiences can take on powerful and even universal meanings. INTIMATE STORIES offers a deeply moving and thoughtful look at the journeys that every person must endure to make their lives whole.
