Así habló el cambista

Umberto Brasue is a money changer who will have to circumvent his marriage, the subversion of the 1970s, and his own code of ethics to keep his name in the Uruguayan financial center.

Belmonte

Belmonte is preparing for an upcoming exhibition of his work at Montevideo’s National Museum. His paintings are sensual, fantastical, and sometimes colorful, yet all have a melancholic undertone. A divorced dad, Belmonte has recently been more obsessed with his relationship with his young daughter, Celeste, than with his work—especially now that Celeste’s mom is about to have a baby with her new partner.

The Apostate

Tamayo knows he doesn’t want to be the person he once was – or the person he’d have to be if he adhered to family expectations. But it’s hard to find a new path, and perhaps, before he can begin, he will have to put his feelings into words. With the actions intrinsic to late adolescence and the sincerity of one friend addressing another, Tamayo revisits a long list of weaknesses and miseries: his family heritage.
