SUDDENLY
TAN DE REPENTE
a film by :Diego Lerman
Marcia is young and fat and lives a grey, routine life in the city of Buenos Aires. Mao and Lenin, a punk girl couple, run into Marcia and for some strange reason decide to express their love for her. Fanciful Mao declares she's in love with Marcia and offers to prove it. "The love which has no explanation can be proved, and proof is worth as much as love," Mao tells her. From there on, the three (daring couple and bewildered Marcia) leave Buenos Aires on a journey whose end and date of return keep been delayed due to all the unforeseen things that happen to them. The journey they're on gets stranger and stranger, with constant changes of landscape and pace, and with fantasy and lots of humour. A search for a place that's impossible yet eternal, a place they keep on leaving behind.
Marcia est une grosse jeune fille qui mène une vie routinière à Buenos Aires. Mao et Lénine, un couple de filles punk, tombe sur elle et, pour une raison inexplicable, s'entête à lui démontrer son amour. Mao se dit amoureuse de Marcia et pour qu'elle n'en doute pas, lui offre une preuve d'amour. ""Car l'amour qui n'a pas d'explications a des preuves, et les preuves sont aussi valables que l'amour"" lui dira Mao. C'est alors que les trois filles (les unes intrepides, l'autre étourdie), entreprennent un voyage depuis Buenos Aires, à une destination et à un retour incertains, toujours remis à plus tard au gré du hasard. Ce voyage plein d'humour s'avère surprenant, riche en changements de paysages, rythmes et fantaisies. Un parcours à la recherche d'un lieu impossible et perpétuel à la fois, un lieu qu'elles ne cessent de laisser derrière elles.
