"Matching style and originality with a refreshing lack of moralizing, Kept & Dreamless keeps the banner of Argentinean independent cinema flying high…" - Variety

“A charming film with a flair for comedic melodrama and an irreverent knowingness that bears comparison to Fassbinder and Almodóvar.” - American Film Institute

During Argentina's economic crisis of the 1990s, nine year-old Eugenia and her mother, Florencia, live a seemingly colorful life surrounded by eclectic neighbors and an offbeat collection of family. But for Eugenia, who must deal with her mother's dysfunctional and drug-addled lifestyle, life is anything but pleasant in this darkly inspiring story of expectation, acceptance and nontraditional family, led by standout performances from director Vera Fogwill (portraying Florencia) and young actress Lucía Snieg (as Eugenia).

"Our intention was to tell this story reflecting and portraying what it is not said, to go beyond words and script dialogues. Reflect the emotional world, the world of details of this intimate story of feminine privacies. For this we based our work on the observation of details but with the subtlety that they can happen unnoticed.” – Vera Fogwill
