TANGO
A Duo
Ortiz de Zarate and Dartagnan play Tango with light and shadow, sound and silence. Together, they tell stories with the mischievousness you'd expect from two tangueros – crossing harmony with attacks, dissonances, scratches, and whatever else is necessary to ignite the audience's passion.
They learned all this while studying cinema in Argentina (FUC / Universidad de Buenos Aires UBA) and moving between cinema and advertising since then.
Now, they bring all that experience to every film they direct – with an emphasis on a good direction of actors, well constructed characters and a refined and elevated aesthetic.
It takes two to tango
Daily special
1.m. Usually, restaurants display reduced-price specials menus for 48 hours, in order to increase the sales of a given dish or ingredient. This kind of practice is very common in dark kitchens, which produce a small variety of plates so they can lower costs.
2.m. A tragic story about pathological internal conflicts that takes place at dinnertime between 4 or 8 walls.
This is the story
The recent pandemic that threatens the whole world is at its peak and the Montana government asks its citizens to stay indoors.
David (39), isolated in an old apartment which isn't his, suffers from a little-known disease called mysophonia: a disorder that destabilizes him when he hears specific repetitive sounds.
While he is working against the clock on an architecture model that he can't seem to finish and struggling with his internal conflicts, he decides to take refuge in food: he orders the daily special from a dark kitchen, delegating the effort of choosing what he will eat. A menu in which he never imagined being a part of.
