Love in an online world doesn't have to be lonely!

Smartly told with a whimsical Woody Allen-esque wit, this patiently unfolding romance from Argentinean award-winner Gustavo Taretto is overflowing with clever stylistic choices, endless charm, and Michele Gondry-like creativity. Martin and Mariana live separate lives, only walls apart from one another. Clues slowly surface that they are soul mates, but only when they both decide to defy building code by having windows installed in their apartments do the pieces truly begin to fall into place. The film features incredible cinematography capturing the unique architecture of Buenos Aires.

Contada de forma muy ingeniosa con un desenfadado estilo a lo Woody Allen, este parsimonioso romance del premiado argentino Gustavo Taretto desborda un estilo audaz, un encanto incesante y una creatividad a lo Michel Gondry. Martín y Mariana viven cada uno sus vidas en viviendas casi contiguas. Poco a poco las pistas de que son almas gemelas se hacen evidentes. Pero es tan sólo cuando deciden desafiar los códigos del inmueble al instalar ventanas en sus respectivos departamentos que empieza a armarse el rompecabezas.
