La uruguaya

Adaptation of the homonymous novel by Pedro Mairal, a success in contemporary argentine literature, 'La uruguaya' atypically mixes drama, humor and romance to shape the story of a man who seeks a change in his life, but he does not find it the way he expects. This man is Lucas Pereyra, an Argentine writer immersed in a suffocating conjugal routine who finds a way out of it in the figure of Magalí Guerra, a Uruguayan younger than him whom he believes he can conquer. Due to the financial chaos of his country, Pereyra must cross the Río de la Plata to receive payment for various jobs, and in Montevideo he lives a lysergic and transformative journey with Guerra, who will not be an easy prey for his romantic onslaught.

This Argentine-Uruguayan production is the second film by director Ana García Blaya ('Las buenas intenciones'), and features Sebastián Arzeno ('Las buenas intenciones') and Fiorella Bottaioli ('Tan frágil como un segundo') as Lucas and Guerra respectively. The script was written by a team led by Christian 'Chri' Basilis ('Los ricos no piden permiso') and also composed by Sofía Badía, Alejo Barmasch, Melania Stucchi, Juan Games and Marcos Krivocapich. It is the first film by Orsai Audiovisuales, a project by the writer Hernán Casciari for the production of films and series through the massive participation of producing partners, around 2000, among whom dividends are distributed and who are involved in creative decisions.
