“A marvel, chaotic, sweet and sour, emotional
and purely detailed…The filmmaker manages to immerse the viewer in his cathartic state of shock, he manages
to connect with the audience in a pain so unique.””
MOST PEOPLE DIE ON SUNDAYS / LOS DOMINGOS MUEREN MÁS PERSONAS
A film by Iair Said
(Argentina/Italy/Spain / 2024 / 75 min. In Spanish, with English subtitles)
David, a young middle-class Jewish man—corpulent, gay and afraid of flying—returns to Buenos Aires from Europe after the death of his uncle. On his return, David learns that his mother has decided to disconnect his father's respirator, the only thing that has kept him alive for years. David will oscillate between living intimately with his mother, alienated by the pain of the imminent loss of her husband, and a voracity to fill his existential anguish, occupying his hours learning to drive, going to specialists cheaper than in Europe, and trying to have sex with any man who shows him a little attention. Deftly wielding both pathos and humor, the writer/director/lead actor Iair Said starts from the question: What is the price that those of us who are left have to pay when a loved one dies?
