TALLINN 2015 (Variety)

Debut Directors Put in Spotlight at Black Nights Film Festival_x000D_ “A “bittersweet afterglow of an ancient culture in decline” can be felt in Paraguayan-Argentinian co-production “Guarani,” a world premiere from director Luis Zorraquin. A traditional Guarani-speaking grandfather sees that his descendants are drifting away from the old ways. The proud river-boat operator senses the angst of his closest granddaughter and sets out with her on a “journey of self discovery and reconciliation” through the scenic Paraguayan countryside to Buenos Aires looking for the girl’s mother.”_x000D_
