BORN AND BRED (2006)

Cast

Plot

Santiago is a successful interior designer, husband to Milli and loving father to daughter, Josefina, but this veneer of urban contentment in Buenos Aires is torn away when tragedy strikes. Re-appearing in the frozen landscapes of Patagonia, and changed beyond recognition, Santiago begins a self-imposed penance in a wilderness of outsiders. Yet a warm camaraderie and humour characterise the friendships formed, offering hope to a soul tormented by the ghosts of an unalterable past. Santiago must re-engage with the present to remain one step ahead of insanity. The follow up to Pablo Trapero's highly acclaimed Familia Rodante, Born & Bred is a beautifully observed and performed journey in search of redemption.
