La uruguaya

Lucas Pereyra is a writer going through a mid-life crisis who seems to find relief for his everyday frustrations – his partner, his fatherhood, his economy – in a long-awaited getaway to Montevideo. His excuse is to avoid Argentina’s currency exchange restrictions, but the truth is he actually dreams of reuniting with a girl – quite younger than him – whom she met during a previous trip and with whom he has been maintaining a playful long-distance bond. But in between desire and reality, an abyss seems to open – perhaps Lucas will discover, the hard way, that neither women nor cities exist to satisfy male fantasies.
