Los del suelo

About This Movie

Los del suelo captures the raw and gritty essence of survival against a haunting backdrop of military repression in 1970s Argentina. You’ve got Remo and Irmina, two Agrarian League activists, thrust into a life of exile. They hide out in the mountains, grappling with their new reality while raising their daughter amidst the stunning yet unforgiving landscape. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to settle into their world, making their struggles palpable. There’s a visceral quality to the performances that pulls you in—it's not overly polished but carries a weight of authenticity. The film’s exploration of resilience and the bond of a family in crisis really sets it apart, especially in its depiction of how they learn to adapt and find meaning in the harshness around them.
