Las Acacias is a lovely film coming to PFC this weekend, and it's all in Spanish (with English subtitles). Las Acacias starts this Friday, November 2 at the Limelight and shows daily through next Wednesday.
"Exhilarating and moving. This is a very satisfying love story." Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
Rubén is a lonely truck driver who has been covering for years the motorway from Asunción del Paraguay to Buenos Aires, carrying wood. However, today's journey will be different. This morning, in a motorway stop near Asunción, Jacinta shows up an hour later to begin a journey by track which is going to take her to Buenos Aires. Wath's more, Rubén finds out at that very moment that little Anahí, who's 8 months old, will travel with them- It is not the best beginning. As kilometres go by, th relationship between Rubén and Jacinta will grow. they will slowly meet and sip into each other's soul. None of them talks much about their lives. None asks much either. It's a few word journey but it is not a silent one.
