About Fontana, la frontera interior
Argentina, 1880. A group of exhausted soldiers sails down the Pilcomayo River. A man at the head of the group hesitates. It's Colonel Luis Jorge Fontana. The lives of many men depend on his decision, and he knows it very well. The territory of a country isn't something that falls from the sky: the borders drawn on maps are the product, at some point in history, of the will and determination of a few men; and Fontana was one of those men.
Directed by Juan Bautista Stagnaro, Fontana, la frontera interior leans on a strong ensemble — Guillermo Pfening, Jorge D'Elía, Pablo Ribba — 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 2011.
