I would say it’s an intimate portrait of a man in transition. Somebody who is trying to rebuild himself and his identity after a relationship that framed him. That gave him a lot but that also took a lot away. He comes here [to New York City] to prove his worth in his own terms. But things are hardly that easy. But I think it’s also a film about a ...
I very purposely avoided the postcard New York. I wanted to talk about New York from an insider’s perspective.

That’s also part of the point of the film is the idea that if you’re blond in Argentina, you get certain kind of roles. But what was an asset there almost becomes a disadvantage her...
Well that’s the beauty of what’s going on right now in, how can I call it, Latin American independent cinema, or art cinema. We support each other. [Director] Petra [Costa] is in my film, I co-produced [Julia Murat’s Pendular], Isabel [Coixet] produced mine. I do believe in those collaborations. I believe in the circulation of these stories.
