Where to find the most winning film of the first edition of the Martin Fierro Film Awards and what it is about.
On Monday, October 21, the first edition of the Martín Fierro awards for cinema and series at the Usina del Arte, La Boca, where they award the best actors and actresses in the field, in addition to recognizing the pre and post production work of series and movies that stood out from the rest in 2023.
The most winning production of the night was the comedy film “Puan“, developed at the UBA, and won seven statuettes, including best script, lead actor in a comedy, direction, supporting actor in a comedy and best movie. The plot runs parallel to the current claim for public universitiesand the participation of university teaching staff was present. The film is available on Prime Video.
What is “Puan” about?
The film tells the story of Marcelo, a passionate professor of Political Philosophy. The central conflict arises when his mentor and head of the department dies, leaving his position vacant. At that moment, Rafael, a charismatic rival that arrives with a wave of European ideas. The plot focuses on the ego battle between the two, but above all on how this competition destabilizes Marcelo’s meticulous life.
Furthermore, the film portrays the context of militancy, egos and cultural disputes that go through university. The economic crisis also plays an important role, further complicating Marcelo’s already turbulent life. The film takes place in the UBA and covers emblematic points of the city, but the title knows how to generate a contrast with another completely different place in Argentina: Puan, a town in Buenos Aireswhich tries to reflect calm as opposed to frenetic urban life.
