ARGENTINA
THE WIDOWS OF THURSDAYS [Las viudas de los jueves]

The bodies of three men are found floating in a swimming pool in the tony gated community of Los Altos--three friends whose business and family lives appeared perfect. But, as revealed in flashback, behind the glossy exterior lurked corruption, lies and a deep malaise. Marcelo Piñeyro (BURNT MONEY) provides an elegant allegory of contemporary Argentina's recent economic and political meltdown in this slyly subversive suburban melodrama. Official Selection, 2010 Mar del Plata Film Festival.
