Synopsis
The strange days mentioned in the title are the days of an exhausted youth, halfway to nowhere. Days of sublimated love and sleepless nights, extreme emotions and always too impulsive decisions: the days of immaturity. A couple of young Colombians, drawn as characters from a novel by Bolaño read from time to time in the tube, idling at late hours across a ghostly Buenos Aires; scraping out a living in a grueling room, fucking, loving and beating each other with the same post-punk intensity. Born out of improvisation and school, of making movies with friends and family –among expats–, Quebrada’s film has in sight the early Jarmusch and the impudence of those who have nothing to lose.
