Possible Lives
 

“Beautifully shot in the far southern reaches of Argentina, Gugliotta's romantic mystery should attract audiences with its "what if?" take on the vagaries of love.” –Ray Bennett, The Hollywood Reporter

Possible LivesAfter her husband mysteriously disappears during a business trip to Patagonia, Clara embarks on a desperate mission to find him. During her search, she makes a startling discovery: a man with anuncanny resemblance to her spouse, but with another name and a wife. Convinced the stranger may be her husband, she ignores entreaties to quit her search just as police discover a body that may be the real man she seeks. Shot amid majestic vistas and suffused with vibrant color and sexuality, director Sandra Gugliotta’s feature is a haunting and suspenseful study of grief and letting go.

“In keeping with a number of recent Argentine films shot in Patagonia, there's an unsettling sense that the sparsely populated region is a cross between the Bermuda Triangle and a stint in the Foreign Legion --contributing to madness with its promise of complete escape from the civilized capital and Possible Livesits hustle and bustle.” –Jay Weissberg, Variety
