Director: Lucrecia Martel Run Time: 87 min. Release Year: 2008 Language: Spanish

A bourgeois middle-aged dentist named Veronica (MARIA ONETTO) drives alone on a dirt road, becomes distracted, and runs over something.  Immediately she becomes disoriented, unmoored from her identity and reality, like a sleepwalker who’s actually awake.  As the week go on, she becomes obsessed with the possibility that she may have killed someone: a young boy whose body is found in a roadside canal.  Veronica tries to piece together what happened while her husband systematically erases her tracks.  A chilling parable about a woman in shock, Lucrecia Martel’s third feature explores the intricacies of class and the role of women in a male-dominated society.
