About This Movie

Ysyry, directed by Lucho Maldonado, draws you into this intimate portrayal of youth and innocence intertwined with the harshness of reality. The film unfolds in Luque, where the serene setting by the Yukyry stream contrasts sharply with the sudden turn of events when young Juanchi's day of play takes a dark twist. The atmosphere is thick with the weight of childhood naivety, and Maldonado crafts a slow-burn tension that keeps you on edge. The performances feel raw and real, almost like watching a slice of life unfold. It’s the kind of film that lingers, making you ponder the fragility of life and the unexpected turns it can take. Not just about the event, but also about how it shapes the relationships around Juanchi, really gives it a distinctive edge.
