Marea baja



Paulo Pécora : 2013
Low Tide

Fleeing through the jungle near the border between Argentina and Uruguay, a stranger knocks on the door of a secluded house in the Paraná Delta that is inhabited by two women. Carrying with him only guns and money, he is obviously on the run and feels that someone is breathing down his neck. Right now he is surrounded by the constraints of his own vulnerability, and by nature, revealing itself as a considerably disquieting element which ultimately consumes everything in its path. The women provide a short time of care and rest, but his surroundings give him no peace of mind. An ambigious triangle drama arises and when his persecutors eventually catch up with the man, the final reckoning can commence. A noir thriller with a dark and dense atmosphere, its austere minimalism deepening the inner tension. The film received its international premiere at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2013.
