THE HOURS X TÀR

While visiting Geneva, an Argentine fashion designer is suddenly overcome by a tragic impulse she cannot explain, reawakening her past traumas. The study of an elusive character.
Partners
Argentinian filmmaker Milagros Mumenthaler, who spent her teenage years in Geneva, paints a nuanced and enigmatic portrait of a woman with great elegance. Lina is going through an identity crisis just as her work as a renowned stylist is being honored in Geneva. That evening, an idea crosses her mind and pushes her to commit an act she cannot explain: she throws herself into the icy waters of the Rhône. Tormented, Lina begins to question her life, her family relationships, and her role as a mother. Admirably sensitive in the role of Lina, actress Isabel Aimé Gonzalez Sola embraces her character's contradictions and complexity, consolidating this remarkable story of a woman adrift, with disconcerting accuracy and a relentless appeal.
