Felicidades (2000)

On an oppressively hot Christmas Eve in Buenos Aires, the seemingly unconnected stories of three souls united by loneliness, emptiness and nostalgia, face unknown miseries. Their lives intertwine in unexpected ways, as they face difficult moments while clinging to small fragments of hope. Lucho Bender's poignant directorial debut competed in the 2000 Oscars and won the Condor Award for Best First Film, standing as an antidote to the typical Christmas movies.
