Winner of Best Short Film at the Berlinale, Francisco Lezama’s idiosyncratic comedy sees life for what it is: absurd and mundane, with sporadic moments of serendipity. Twisting together diverse modern phenomena—dating apps, global finance—An Odd Turn is alive to the present in all its surprises.

Streetwise hustler Antonio wanders Buenos Aires in search of money and sex, taking lovers to bed and stealing from them as they sleep. Only his tempestuous mother provides the force that may one day push him to seek out a brand-new life. 'The Pleasure is Mine' is a searing, slow-motion portrait of hedonism and discovery, overflowing with characters who luxuriously sink into their authentic selves.

On the run, newly pregnant Laura and her son, Matías, seek a safe haven from her abusive husband. But his dark shadow dogs their every step.
