About May You Live in Interesting Times
Marcos was once a successful author of children's books. For years, his goal has been to finish his first "adult" and "serious" novel. But his lack of social interaction, his excessive ambitions, and the influence of the drugs he grows and sells for a living don't help him. He is about to give up when his friend Walter suggests another path: Marcos just has to live a more intense life. And write about it, like so many great writers...
Directed by Santiago Van Dam, May You Live in Interesting Times leans on a strong ensemble — Ezequiel Tronconi, Giselle Motta, Emilia Attías — 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 comedy titles of 2017.
