Navidad

Sebastián Lelio : 2009
Christmas

It's Christmas Eve, Aurora and Alejandro have run away to a secluded cabin in the hills outside Santiago, where she once lived and now her mother has sold with everything in it, including furniture and its many memories. She's there with the excuse of recovering some of her dead father's records. The two friends confront one another over the mysterious Luisa, a girl who has been sending Aurora love letters. Alejandro becomes jealous and paranoid about Aurora's secret relationship, and her plans to spend New Year's Eve with Luisa in Argentina. Alejandro is no longer interested in a relationship and leaves the cabin, but finds 15-year-old Alicia, unconscious in the greenhouse, running from home and searching for her father, whom she never met. Aurora persuades Alejandro to stay and the couple nurse Alicia back to health, becoming more and more intrigued by this attractive and waifish young woman – a three-way attraction simmering beneath their fascination. From now on, the three will only have each other, as orphans, each one in their own way, eventually discovering a closeness that will soothe their alienation and loneliness, even if only for the night.
