Federico Godfrid

“Prepotencia de trabajo” is a film about people who make films, made by people who make them, by people who teach how to make them and by people who are learning how to make them. And it's also a movie about his movies, about how those people learned and how he managed to make them. And it is also a film about the Mar del Plata Festival as seen by these people, about the possibilities it offers them, and also about the UBA's Image and Sound Design career, where all these filmmakers came from.

La Tigra, Chaco. A quiet town only 20 blocks long. Esteban returns after years of absence to the place where he spent his childhood summers. He returns looking for his father, Cacho, and to talk "about Buenos Aires". But Cacho, a truck driver who has started a new family in La Tigra, is often on the road and their encounter is postponed indefinitely. While he waits, Esteban meets Vero, a childhood friend that has grown into a beautiful woman. Each step together seems to take them back to the most precious moments of a shared memory. But their relationship is not a journey into the past; rather it holds the promise of a future. Federico Godfrid's and Juan Sasiaín's first feature film transmits the warmth, honesty and sadness of this reunion, thanks to its mise en scène and the performances of Ezequiel Tronconi and Guadalupe Docampo, who give their characters a rare spontaneity.
