This story of a man trying to rebuild his life has a slow-burning charm that requires a little patience but will reward you with an enchanting, uplifting experience. Gruff truck driver Reuben gives young mother Jacinta a lift from the Paraguayan border to Buenos Aires. A man of few words Reuben had clearly not bargained on sharing his cramped cab with a screaming baby for 900 miles! But as they amble on down the road and the baby begins to ogle adoringly at him, Reuben slowly begins to let his guard down. The unaffected warmth and delicate pace wrings sweet truth and sexual tension from the everyday by simply keeping the shots long and the edits sparse.
“A warm glow is guaranteed from this understated, sun-dappled romance” Time Out
