Emiliano Grieco : 2014
Footprint in the mist
Under the mist covering the río Paraná, Elías is carried away in his canoe. He has committed a murder. Wounded and lost in the fog, Elías returns to his island. The flood took everything and his home lies empty. His father gives him shelter but distrusts him. Different neighbours tell him where to find Lara and his son, who now live with another man and don't want to see him again. Elías insists on returning, yet all his efforts are in vain. He has quit drinking, fixed up the farm where they used to live together, and has found work on a boat. These changes are not enough to get Lara back, the water does not wash away his blood and death goes along with him. And as the pain slowly increases, the nature of the place seems to swallow him more and more. The cursed Elías rows on a murky river, to a quiet estuary, dominated by peace, where time seems to stand still despite its constant movement. Emiliano Grieco's feature debut premiered in competition at Festival Internacional de Cine de Mar del Plata 2014.
