Geminis

Albertina Carri's [Geminis] is a beautifully shot but disturbing film that peels back the skin of a middle-class family to reveal the secrets below. It wooed the audiences in Directors' Fortnight at Cannes this year.
Lucia and Daniel have three children: the eldest is Ezequiel, who now lives in Spain; the middle child is son Jeremias; and the youngest is the rather sullen daughter Meme. Lucia is obsessed with shaping and presenting her small clan as a model family of Argentina's chattering class. But so consumed is she with this project that she fails to see what is unfolding beneath her very nose. When Ezequiel returns to Argentina just prior to his wedding, he begins to suspect that the natural order of his family is out of kilter. Then one night he is confronted with the terrible truth of family relations.
