What is Lost Embrace about?

In Buenos Aires, the twenty-something Jewish-Argentinean Ariel Makaroff ditches the University of Architecture and spends his time wandering through the downtown gallery where his mother has a lingerie shop and his brother runs an importation business. Ariel has never understood why his father left him when he was a baby, but when his dad returns to Argentina, that will soon change.

Critics consensus: Daniel Burman’s Buenos Aires family comedy-drama won Best Feature at Bangkok 2004 — a warm Latin American highlight of the festival’s early Lotus years. The film stars Daniel Hendler, Adriana Aizemberg, Jorge D’Elía, Sergio Boris, Melina Petriella, and others.
