The Secret in Their Eyes |
|
|
"Recently retired Benjamin (Ricardo Darin), a former criminal-court employee, has decided to write a novel based on a rape
and murder that occurred 20 years ago - a crime he believes has never been solved. He shares his intentions with judge
Irene (Soledad Villamil), for whom he has long carried a secret torch and who - for reasons which soon become clear - is
unsure about the idea.
"Flashbacks set just before the late '70s arrival of the military junta show an Argentina already in the grip of judicial corruption.
The dead woman was the young wife of Morales (Pablo Rago); the two immigrant workers arrested for the crime have clearly
been beaten into confessing. Roused to action, and aided by his drunken barfly colleague Sandoval (Argentinean comedian
Guillermo Francella), Benjamin sets about identifying the real perpertrator, their clumsiness generating some wonderful
comic business along the way." -Variety.

The heart-warming comedy-drama is the first feature from US filmmaker Cherien Dabis.
Muna (Nisreen Faour) is a non-religous Palestinian, making her an outsider on both sides of the Israeli border. Against all
odds Muna wins big in the US green card lottery. The single mother leaves the West Bank with Fadi (Melkar Muallem), her
teenage son, and with dreams of an exciting future in the promised land of small town Illinois. However, they arrive in the US
soon after the start of the Iraq war, when anti-Arab sentiment runs high.
As Fadi navigates high school hallways the way he used to move through military checkpoints, the indomitable Muna
scrambles together a new life cooking up falafel burgers as well as hamburgers at the local White Castle.
