Two sisters separated for the duration of the Argentine dictatorship spanning from 1976 to 1983 reconnect to confront the tragedy of their past in director Julia Solomonoff's reflective drama. It was 1975 when Natalia Levin's (Ingrid Rubio) militant boyfriend Martin (Nicolás Pauls) disappeared from Buenos Aires without a trace. Natalia was also separated from her sister Elena (Valeria Bertuccelli) that same year, but the two are once again drawn together when -- after the dictatorship crumbles -- Natalia travels to Austin, TX, to visit her sister and inquire about an unpublished novel written by her late father. Discovering that the novel is a fact-based account of their family's struggle during the dictatorship, Natalia and her sister are forced to confront the painful memories of the past before they can begin the healing process that will free them of the lingering guilt that accompanies their survival. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A remote village known for their beautiful funerals awaits the arrival of a wealthy man on the verge of death in director Laura Mañà's dark comedy. When people wanted to go in style, they used to come to San Hilario. But these days funerals are rushed, impersonal affairs, and as a result the people of San Hilario are desperate for work. When the villagers learn that a wealthy client named Germán Cortés is currently en route, they realize he may be the key to revitalizing the local economy, and pull out all the stops to ensure that his last days on Earth are everything he'd hoped for and then some. Unfortunately for the people of San Hilario, the man who arrives claiming to be Germán Cortés is an intruder, and he doesn't seem to understand the true nature of the town's once-thriving business. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
