Overview
- Netflix began streaming the feature globally on October 17 as an exclusive that requires a subscription.
- Directed by Daniel Hendler, the Spanish‑language adaptation runs about 107–108 minutes and was produced by La Unión de los Ríos with collaborators Mariano Llinás, Agustina Liendo and Martín Mauregui.
- The story follows an 83‑year‑old patron institutionalized at her daughters’ request while a court‑appointed expert assesses whether she has dementia or is being confined for other motives.
- It adapts Natalia Zito’s book Veintisiete noches, inspired by the 2004 case of artist Natalia Kohen that predated Argentina’s 2010 mental‑health law requiring judicial oversight of involuntary hospitalization.
- It premiered in San Sebastián’s official selection—as the festival’s opener, according to Argentine coverage—and early reviews single out Marilú Marini’s lead turn and the film’s exploration of aging, autonomy and sanity.
