This is the story of Adonai Jara, a gaucho, who work on a remote ranch in Arentina. We watch as he goes through his routine and tries to convince his son to continue the family tradition.
This is a beautiful film. If you can see this on a big screen do so because you will lose youself in the images. This film is so good looking that it made me angry that most awards never consider short films, no matter how good they are. This film deserves to win a boatload of statues for its images.
Beyond the images there is Jara. Jara is a great subject. For a man who spends so much time alone, he brings us in and pulls us close. We come to love him and his family, in ways that we don't usually get in shorts.
What I love about this film is that the film nails the pacing. Moving at the slow pace of the life on the ranch, the film never feels draggy. too often films like this feel slow. Too many directors don't understand how to pace quiet and medatative, director Belle Casares does.
You will fall in ,love with this film.
