Most People Die on Sundays

Los Domingos Mueren Más Personas

Argentina, Italy, Spain 2024 Fiction cor 75 min.

David, a middle-class Jewish man, corpulent, homosexual and afraid of flying, returns to Buenos Aires from Europe after the death of his uncle. On his return, David learns that his mother has decided to disconnect his father’s respirator, the only thing that has kept him alive for years. David will oscillate between living intimately with his mother, alienated by the pain of the imminent loss of her husband, and a voracity to fill his existential anguish, occupying his hours learning to drive, going to specialists cheaper than in Europe, and trying to have sex with any man who shows him a little attention.

Presented in the ACID section at the Cannes Film Festival and at the San Sebastián Film Festival.
