Abrir puertas y ventanas (2011)

Literal translation for the title: Open the Doors and the Windows
English distribution title: Back to Stay

Three student sisters in their early twenties (apparently) are living together in their recently deceased grandmother's house. Sofía is bossy and a bit devious; Marina seems to do all the house work and to be more emotionally honest than the others; Violeta is extremely lazy.

A psychological study where nothing much happens in the way of a plot. It is very well acted and seems to have some insight into how young women act and relate to one another. Another decent Argentinean movie written and directed by a woman (Mumenthaler), amongst several that have appeared in recent times (Galardi, Martel, Murga).

Rating: 61
