David, a boy in his 30s, overweight, homosexual and with a grappling fear of flying, regretfully returns to his native Argentina to attend his uncle’s funeral. There he will reconnect with his mother and his Jewish family, while embarking on a quest across Buenos Aires to quench his anxiety via driving lessons, cheap healthcare and trying to sleep with any man that shows him a little attention.

“Lethargic filmmaking in debut features is not at all uncommon and usually dissipates in subsequent films. Said’s emotional acuity, though, and unique vantage point make him a valuable new voice in cinema.” (SreenAnarchy, Ankit Jhunjhunwala)

“A film about ordinary people (…) They try to survive through a pain that will transform their lives forever. I am interested in exploring the world of ordinary people who leave gaps in simple families. Because we all deserve to be eternal for someone.” (Iair Said)
