The Fish Child (view at the Tribeca Film Festival).



The Tribeca Film Festival is creeping up. Among the many selections, I think I will need to see El Nino Pez (The Fish Child) by Argentinean Lucia Puenzo.

IMBD breaks down the plot:

Lala and her family's maid Guay unveil their love for each other and plan to leave Buenos Aires for a common future elsewhere. When Lala finds out that her father is sleeping with Guay, she hands him a glass of poisoned milk. The day after, Guay disappears. Lala decides to sets off to Ypacarai Lake, where Guay comes from, and discovers the secrets of her friend's past, her first love, her pregnancy and the legend of a fish boy living in the lake..
