(Argentina, 2002, 94 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
		In the midst of a city shaken by social unrest, unemployment and political turmoil, 25-year-old Elsa barely makes a living via odd jobs and petty crimes. The desire for a better life and the memory of a fleeting Italian boyfriend draw her to Rome and later to Sicily to find him, in a trip that is the reverse of the journey that her anarchist grandfather took decades earlier when he left Italy escaping poverty. UN DIA DE SUERTE was shot in Buenos Aires during the riots of 2000, and through Elsa’s story, Gugliotta effectively expresses, with candor and authenticity, the state of mind of a generation and a country.
