El camino

Manuel is a lonely young man of upper middle class who lives in Buenos Aires with his mother. Due to a fortuitous circumstance, one day he discovers that his father, whom he does not know and whom he supposes living abroad, is in the country. He decides to go and look for him and on his motorcycle starts a long way south through Patagonia.

Directed by Javier Olivera, El camino leans on a strong ensemble — Ezequiel Rodríguez, Antonella Costa, Héctor Anglada — 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 2000.
