Historias Minimas (2002)
A charming and affecting tale charting the fortunes of three small town heroes pursuing their dreams, Carlos Sorin's Historias Minimas offers further evidence of the current riches to be found in Argentine cinema.
Awarded a special jury prize at the San Sebastian International Film Festival, it's a deceptively simple, yet delightful road movie concerned with three disparate characters heading for the Argentine city of San Julian amid the beautiful landscapes of Patagonia. Roberto is a travelling salesman hoping to impress a young widow by surprising her child with a birthday cake.Don Justo is an old man with poor vision who sits in front of his son's grocery store and entertains passing children by wiggling his ears.Maria is a shy mother who has won an apperance on TV gameshow 'Multicoloured Casino'.
Gently probing the hopes and aspirations of his characters, Sorin uses the interconnected, tripartite structure to offer astute observations both on a culture relatively unscathed by modernity and on contemporary Argentina itself.

Finest Acting by a Dog
An example of perhaps the finest acting by a canine you will ever get the chance to see. And a lovely film altogether.
