Summary: From case cover: Lala (Inés Efron), la adolescente hija de un juez que vive en un barrio exclusivo de Buenos Aires, descubre en la Guayi (Emme) - una mucama paraguaya de 20 años que trabaja en su casa - al verdadero amor. Sueñan con irse a Paraguay. Pero cuando están a punto de fugarse, todo estalla: es deseo, los celos y la ira que precipita una tragedia. Recibida con aplausos en el Festival de Berlin, esta segunda película de Lucía Puenzo (directora de XXY y autora de la novela El niño pez en la que basó su propio guión) sorprende por la singularidad de una trama plagada de secretos, en la que el deseo marca el pulso de la historia. From IMDb: Lala, a teenager from the most exclusive suburban neighborhood in Argentina is in love with the Guayi, the 20-year-old Payaguayan maid working at her place. They dream of living together in Paraguay, at the shores of lake Ypoá. Robbing every purse and wallet in the house to fulfill their dream, hiding the money in a shoe box. But when the box is full, it bursts, fueled by desire, jealousy and rage. This is the starting point that spurs the escape through the highway that connects the North of Buenos Aires with Paraguay. While Lala waits to be reunited with her lover in Ypoá by reconstructing her past (the mystery surrounding her pregnancy and the legend of a fish child who guides the drowned to the bottom of the lake), the Guayi is detained in a minors institute in the outskirts of Buenos Aires. She turns out to be hiding a crime from long ago.
