Ostende
Laura Citarella
Thanks to a radio contest, a girl wins a four-day vacation in a huge hotel in Ostende, in the Buenos Aires province. It’s the low season. In this place with no obligations or big attractions, the girl starts to pay attention –maybe too much, maybe not enough– to some strange attitudes of an old man, accompanied by two young women. Her boyfriend arrives, and he interrupts like a representative of the outside world, that same world she has been slowly distancing from in just couple of days to enter with pleasure –with the adrenaline of curiosity– into this beach-set, intriguing micro-cosmos that might be filled with stories she doesn’t know. Laura Citarella shows in her debut film that she does know stories, and that’s why she flirts with Hitchcock and Rohmer from a feminine, light, and graceful perspective.
