Son Of The Bride

Argentine director Juan Jose Campanella's Oscar-nominated film is a low-key comedy drama, enhanced by compelling performances from a gifted cast. Middle-aged Rafael Belvedere (Ricardo Darin) yearns for the carefree days of his boyhood, playing Zorro and watching old TV shows with his best friend, when any grief could be dispelled by a batch of his mother's fresh-baked biscuits. At age 42, Rafael is busy running the restaurant he inherited from his parents, successful but dissatisfied with his life. He can't come to terms with his once-vibrant mother's (Norma Aleandro) crippling Alzheimer's, and he feels overwhelmed when his ageing father (Hector Alterio) asks him to help arrange a second marriage ceremony to his wife of 44 years to give her the church wedding she had always wanted. After Rafael suffers a minor heart attack, he decides it's time for a change. He will sell the restaurant and retire to Mexico. This means abandoning not only his career, but his parents, his young daughter (Gimena Nobile), and his girlfriend (Natalia Verbeke). However, with the advice and counsel of his childhood friend, Juan Carlos (Eduardo Blanco), Rafael begins to realise that severing the ties that bind him to his loved ones might be harder than expected.
