And smile. The picture is ready. But who are the characters of the picture? What is the relation between them? I was extremely impressed by the inertia of the protagonists of this Uruguayan movie I was tempted to see at least twice in the last five years, but never had the proper incentive to do so.
I had several times during watching the temptation to behave as people might behave at a soccer game: go, do it, or at least do something, it is about time. It is about failed human relationships before starting to be relationships. And you don't know what is the reason of this opacity: you say "whisky", you smile, the picture is ready, that's all. A situation I encountered many times with people unable to express nothing themselves out of a routine - including one of feelings/or rather lack of - they were accepting being unable to behave socially.
The references to a local Jewish life are very discrete and could passed unobserved: the two brothers meet again on the occasion of the mazewa ceremony and there at least once a menorah is appearing in the images describing the house interior.
