Lost Embrace (2004)

The 2004 Berlin Film Festival jury Award story took place in the surrounding urban area of the Argentine capital Buenos Aires, all behind the counter. Our hero, Ariel, a Jewish Argentine youth, lives in a shop. Let's take a look at the people around him first. Sally Kinney, 40, runs an electrical repair shop and shouts with his wife, who runs a beauty salon nearby. Kim and his wife are both Koreans who run fengshui products. The elderly Levin brothers are in charge of the cloth shop. The hot Rita is the owner of the Internet cafe, where her old god of wealth, Gerardo, often sits. Ariel's brother Joseph has a place without a storefront, answering the phone with a headset and selling wholesale toys every day, and Raymond is more like a porter than an assistant. Mitterman owns a financial firm that advises clients on investment and other issues. Then there was the depressed stationery store supported by old Oswaldo, the bar that made Ariel's father lose his temper over spoiled mayonnaise, and the lingerie store of Sonia, Ariel's mother.
