The event is free and open to the public and will feature a Q&A with film experts representing Latin America and East Asia, as well as themed snacks!
Synopsis: In 1986, Facundo's father had a neighborhood market in Buenos Aires. Although it was small, all the neighbors went to buy their groceries there because it had it all. However, in the early 1990s, with the arrival of Chinese supermarkets, the store was unable to compete and had to close. Thirty years later, Facundo travels to the other side of the world with the only purpose of taking revenge by opening the first Argentine Supermarket in China.
Languages: Spanish, Mandarin, and English, with English subtitles
