Logline

A subtle and dark comedy by Martín Rejtman made with wonderfully calm camerawork.

As a yoga teacher, Gustavo ought to have found inner calm, but a midlife crisis and marital problems have gotten his life completely off track. To top things off, he also has physical ailments and an annoying mother. Some time at a mountain retreat could fix things: bourgeois esotericism to counter an unsuccessful search for meaning.

THE PRACTICE

Martín Rejtman

Martín Rejtman studied filmmaking at the Pan-American School of Art in Buenos Aires prior to immersing himself in film studies at New York University for two years. His films SILVIA PRIETO (1999), THE MAGIC GLOVES (2003), and TWO SHOTS FIRED (2014) gradually established him as one of the main voices of New Argentine Cinema. THE PRACTICE is his fifth feature film.
