Ostende (2011)

2011 | ArgentinaLaura Citarella★★★★

Anchored by the sensitive performance of Laura Paredes, Laura Citarella's formally elegant, gently sensuous Ostende is a low-key, observational, almost plotless Argentinian seaside mystery, packed with unaccountably alluring sights and sounds.

"When a young woman wins a radio contest, her prize is four days in a hotel in Ostende, a seaside town by the Atlantic coast in the province of Buenos Aires. Only it’s not high season, so the beach proves blustery, the hotel is pretty much empty and she doesn’t have much to do while she waits for her boyfriend to join her. So she listens to the stories of a friendly local waiter and watches the comings and goings of an older man and the two women who appear to be with him." TMDb
