The Toronto Film Festival has announced the first titles for its 46th edition, which includes the North American premiere of Official Competition / Competencia oficial, the latest film by the Argentine duo of Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat (Living Stars, The Distinguished Citizen). Shot in Spain and starring Spanish actors Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas and Argentine actor Óscar Martínez, the comedy will be screened in the Special Presentation sidebar of the festival.
Official Competition tells the story of a multimillionaire businessman who, in search of transcendence and social prestige, decides to make a film that will leaves its mark. In order to achieve his dream, he hires the best: a stellar team made up of the famous filmmaker Lola Cuevas and two renowned actors, owners of enormous talent, but with an even bigger ego: the Hollywood actor Félix Rivero and radical theater actor Iván Torres. They are both legends, but not exactly the best of friends. Through an increasingly eccentric series of trials set by Lola, Felix and Iván must face not only each other, but also their own legacies.
The 46th edition of the Toronto Film Festival will take place September 9-18 in Canada.
