Rojo

Rojo is set in an Argentine province in 1975 against an expanding wave of political violence. A stranger with a gun attacks Dr. Claudio Mora, an upstanding lawyer, outside a restaurant. Mora makes a fateful decision that leaves him consumed by guilt. He begins to discover a whole world of corruption and violence beneath the placid surface of provincial Argentina.

The new drama thriller by Benjamin Naishtat, one of Argentina’s most highly-rated on-the-rise filmmakers, comes to the Festival from its world premiere in Toronto and San Sebastian.
