A Place In The World

A beautiful and evocative film from Argentina and Uruguay, Adolfo Aristarain's drama looks at a 12-year-old boy's coming of age in a small, impoverished village. Meanwhile, the boy's parents - a teacher who heads a collective of shepherds and a doctor - battle big business while trying to preserve their political beliefs.You may also like Die Abendunterhaltung in Vincennes (Hardcover).
