The Load

About This Movie

The Load takes us back to 90's Buenos Aires, where the vibe is gritty yet intimate. You can feel the weight of everyday life pressing down on Ricardo and his girlfriend. He’s this classic young guy, living in the moment while she’s got her sights set on a brighter future. The pacing is deliberate, almost contemplative, which gives you time to soak in their struggles and aspirations. It’s in those quiet moments that the film shines, letting the performances breathe. There’s a raw honesty to their relationship, underpinned by the challenges of their environment. Practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the authenticity without overshadowing the emotional core. It’s a film that reflects a certain time and place with a real sense of place, capturing that delicate balance between hope and despair.
