Directed by Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll | 98 mins | 2004
When Jacopo (Andrés Pazos), sullen, punctilious loner and owner of a decrepit sock factory in Montevideo, learns of an impending visit by his estranged brother, Herman (Jorge Bolani), returning to Uruguay from Brazil for the anniversary of their mother’s death, he recruits his devoted head supervisor, Marta (Mirella Pascual), to pose as his wife, so as to create the illusion of his enjoying a contented personal life—a ploy that backfires spectacularly when his “spouse” begins to gravitate towards his more charismatic and successful sibling. A wincingly funny, exquisitely observed study of people eager to stay hidden from themselves and each other, winner of the Prix du Regard at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.
