SYNOPSIS
In The Man Next Door (El Hombre de al Lado), Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat look at what happens when two neighbors from opposite worlds are forced to confront one another’s existence. In this black comedy, Leonardo (Rafael Spregelburd) is a prestigious designer who lives with his family in a famous house designed by Le Corbusier. Life is seemingly ideal for Leonardo until one day his neighbor Victor (Daniel Aráoz), a boorish used-car salesman, breaks through a common wall to make a window in order to “catch a few rays of sun.” Unfortunately, Victor’s new window looks directly into Leonardo’s living space. As the tension mounts between Leonardo and Victor, the film explores the complex relationships between class differences, social barriers, and right and wrong. Viewers are kept wondering who will prevail in the continuous conflict and the film finishes with an unexpected ending.Enamored of architecture, the film is meticulously designed. Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat give it a carefully crafted weirdness as well as a figurative quality. The multiple award-winning film was shot entirely at Casa Curutchet (La Plata, Argentina), an architectural masterpiece and the only house in the Americas designed by Le Corbusier.
