PUEDES CONTAR CONMIGO

(Kenneth Lonergan, EEUU 110 min., v.o.s.e.)

Men touch each other with blows. An energetic duo about masculine construction. A deconstruction of the contemporary virile behaviour, acclaimed by some and questioned by many. CLINCH in boxing is the moment in which the two boxers hug and block each other until the referee separates them. This movement is about getting as close as possible to your rival to protect yourself from their attack. CLINCH exposes the most toxic masculinity, established in the competition, the denial and the confrontation to all that is different. Furthermore, the denial of feelings, excluding rage or fury, that must be demonstrated through the exercise of violence.

Sammy Precott, que se quedó huérfana siendo una niña, es una madre soltera que sólo vive para su hijo. Sigue viviendo en su pueblo natal, al norte de Nueva York, y lleva una vida sencilla y tranquila: trabaja en un banco, asiste a los servicios religiosos y disfruta de la belleza del paisaje. Sin embargo, su vida se tambalea el día en que regresa al pueblo su hermano, un joven bastante problemático.
