Pulento

Daniel (50) lives in overwhelming and routine isolation due to the pain of bad decisions made in his life. He spends his day denying his sadness in the company of his dog “Pulento”, whom he cares for, takes for walks, and feeds. To alleviate his loneliness, he tries a casual relationship with Rayen (35) or drinks with his friend, Jorge (60). But at the end of the day, everything remains the same. Daniel lives in an endless cycle of emotions drowned in drinks and the company of his faithful “Pulento.”

Directed by Eduardo Villalobos, Pulento leans on a strong ensemble — Daniel Candia, Pulento el Perro, Jocelin Anfossi — 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 2021.
