Las Acacias

[12a]

Spain 2011, 85 mins
Director: Pablo Giorgelli
Starring: Hebe Duarte, Germán da Silva

Winner of three awards at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, including the prestigious Caméra d'Or and Best Film in Critics' Week.

With pitch-perfect performances from character actor Germán de Silva and newcomer Hebe Duarte, LAS ACACIAS tells the story of a long-distance lorry driver who agrees to drive a woman and her 5-month-old child en route from Paraguay to Buenos Aires.

A subtle and tender road movie exploring loneliness and the pain of loss, LAS ACACIAS grows into a searingly poignant tale about a passing encounter between two strangers and the unlikely bond that grows between them.
