With filming on his long-gestating “The True American” stalled , Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larrian (“Jackie,” “Neruda”) quickly assembled this secret project and filmed it in the Summer around the seaport of Valparaíso, hooking in hunks Gael García Bernal (“Y Tu Mama Tambien”) and Santiago Cabrera (“Salvation”) to lead. The story follows a dance choreographer (Bernal) and his schoolteacher wife (Mariana Di Girolamo) whose relationship collapses in the aftermath of an adoption that goes awry. Larrain calls the film a melodrama and it reportedly features several characters expressing themselves through contemporary dance, including reggaeton, but the film is NOT a musical. He also shot it in a way the actors didn’t fully know what they were filming until it was complete.
