The Dependent (1969)

Fernández, a lifelong hardware store worker, is waiting for an inheritance promised by Don Vila. But love complicates everything when he meets Miss Plasini, intensifying his desire for succession. The talented Leonardo Favio makes a poetic ode to Argentine cinema, sensorial exploring the complexities of human desire and portraying provincial life with poetic and theatrical nuances. Balancing humor and melancholy, the film pays homage to silence, loneliness and love in a cult classic.
