El campo



Hernán Belón : 2011
In the Open

A young urban couple, Elisa and Santiago, buy a house in the country and settle there with their two-year-old daughter, Mathilda, to spend a few days surrounded by nature. Santiago plans to make home improvements, go hunting and explore the countryside. But soon after they settle in, strange disturbances begin striking a discord, and Elisa and Santiago's solid relationship starts to unravel without anyone being at cause. Elisa feels uneasy, nervous, and a strange feeling takes hold of her, a stinging feeling that kills all her certainties. Things are not going well between them, the tension increases and their arguments become stronger and more violent. The child cries and is a burden, and the country becomes increasingly hostile. Undoubtedly, nothing goes the way they expected when they planned this journey. In their search, Santiago and Elisa will encounter more than they have bargained for.
