Easy Ball

Sometimes the links can be built from the passions. Sometimes those links can become passions. For Hugo, a solitary taxi driver from Buenos Aires, the total, absolute and exclusive passion is San Lorenzo, which is not only an active part of his past, but a healthy obsession that bathes that gives color to his life. Until a single mother and her son cross their path. Now there will be someone to share the passion with. Maybe something more.

Directed by Juan Fernández Gebauer, Nicolás Suárez, Easy Ball leans on a strong ensemble — Valentín Greco, Ana Katz, Carlos Portaluppi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2015.
