I Won't Go Back Home
Shot in black and white, this debut feature follows two families in Buenos Aires whose paths cross against the backdrop of a country in social and economic collapse. On one side, Nico, a boy from a bourgeois family whose father is murdered. On the other, Rubén, a young working-class man who becomes a hired killer. The two worlds collide through Susana, a sex worker with whom Rubén falls in love. Through a non-linear narrative, the film reconstructs the events leading to their fatal encounter, exposing the violence, corruption, and silence that run through both families and through the city itself.
