English title: Lost Embrace.
Synopsis: The film is set in a shopping gallery in Argentina. Ariel's father took off to Israel when he was a baby. Now an adult in a country immersed in a crisis, Ariel is planning to emigrate to Poland, the land of his ancestors. Meanwhile, his brother Joseph, the owner of a small commerce company, has some financial disputes with an ex-associate which will be settled by a race between Joseph's assistant Ramón and the ex-associate's assistant.
Appraisal: Shoddily filmed - its trademark is the fast zooming in and out - dramedy which lacks an aesthetic vision, or even some script refinement that would render its characters, or its final plot twist, significant or even moderately convincing. That being said, some performances are competent (e.g. the mother), and some scenes achieve some degree of naturalism which is to be valued.
