Un cabo suelto (A Loose End)
Venezia Spotlight
Synopsis
Fleeing from fellow officers, Santiago — an Argentinian policeman — crosses into Uruguay seeking refuge. With no money or shelter, but with plenty of kindness and wit, he begins to rebuild his life with help from the locals, even meeting the woman he believes could be the love of his life.
Director’s Statement
Un cabo suelto tells the story of a character who crosses the Uruguayan-Argentine border hoping to erase the traces of his past life. It is a film about the search for a new destiny, the illusion of being another person and, at the same time, the difficulty of realising that utopia of dissolving the territory.
That between-place, more than the need for change itself, characterises our protagonist, who will experience love, adventure and danger on the border. As a frontier story in the broadest sense, Un cabo suelto also sits on the border of several genres: romantic comedy, western, road movie and police thriller.
What initially prompted me to write this story was the image of a man camouflaging himself to escape, crossing limits without a precise destination. The protagonist, Santiago, crosses the border into Uruguay, a destination unknown to him. He lets himself be carried away by circumstances after being involved in a police matter.
Then I understood that what moved me most was the fantasy of breaking that limit or border, of dissolving the idea of living in transit or constantly moving, and turning that journey into a continuous territory.
