Join the Stone Center for Latin American Studies for the screening of the film Mi amiga del parque (directed by Ana Katz, Arg.) followed by a Q&A with screenwriter Inés Bortagaray. The movie will be in Spanish with English subtitles.
The Argentinian and Uruguayan comedy-drama (2015) explores the routines and friendships that disrupt them. Liz (Julieta Zylberberg), a new mother, meets Rosa (Ana Katz) in the park. Their new friendship interrupts Liz’s routine, leading to a comedic turn that evolves into drama once Rosa’s true identity is revealed.
