In the cinema, a young girl thinks a man in the snack bar line looks like her dad.

Winner of a Tribeca award, this striking debut from a young Uruguayan director builds a dystopian world on minimal means and boundless imagination — a place where cassette tapes still exist, but animals have vanished (except for ants). In this eerie, stripped-down reality, a sexually confident neighbour with a prosthetic leg gives the young protagonist the courage to claim her own future — whether it’s bright or not.
