El día nuevo

Maldonado lives in a farm at an island in the Parana River. He lived there his whole life, like his father and grandfather. One morning, after long years, his wife Celia and his daughter Victoria leave him. Maldonado comes back to the farm after spending the morning fishing and they are no longer there. Suddenly he finds himself all alone and not knowing what to do. Life in the island does not give you a break: you have to fish, light the fire, take care of the animals; the island demands. Maldonado doesn’t abandon his tasks, but a new frailty appears in his life. One day he finds out that Celia is upriver with another man and Maldonado stars plucking up his courage to go and get her. While he builds up his courage, life goes on. But still not in the same way; he has now a new vulnerability that can lead him to loose himself in time or even lead God to pay him a visit. (Films To Festivals)
