Venerable Argentinian filmmaker
Alejandro Agresti turns his lens to his own childhood in this nostalgic
coming-of-age tale. Set in the director's hometown of Buenos Aires circa 1964,
Valentin centers around its title character (and ostensible stand-in for the director), a nine-year-old boy (
Rodrigo Noya) whose feuding parents have left him to be raised by his sage, eccentric grandmother (
Carmen Maura). With his father (
Agresti) visiting only occasionally, Valentin is left to look to the other men in the neighborhood for father figures, and to replace his absent mother, he warms to Leticia (
Julieta Cardinali), one of his father's many short-term girlfriends. When he tells her personal secrets about his father, however, Valentin jeopardizes their relationship.
