Un amor

Valérie Lobsiger
Movie Rating: Valérie Lobsiger

30 years later, a woman meets back up with two friends she loved as a teen.

As a teen, Lisa was excessive and easy, making all the boys fall for her. In the Argentinean city of Victoria, the inseparable Bruno and Lalo are immediately taken with her charm and beauty. Lisa chooses Lalo and asks Bruno to take her virginity. 30 years later, Lisa shows up unexpectedly in Bruno's life, who is meanwhile a family man, and asks of news about Lalo. The three decide to meet Victoria, as before...

With skillful and nostalgic flashbacks, director Paula Hernandez (Lluvia, 2008) makes the audience relive memorable scenes of adolescence. Insouciance, sensuality, lightness, first emotions and the feeling of immortality are perfectly captured. 30 years later, the three still have the same characters but know the moment when everything was possible has passed. The director's art is in showing the passage of time through a succession of brief touches.
