Delfin
It is a tender, sensitive and emotional movie about Delfin, a young and intrepid 11-year-old child who lives alone with his father in a small town in Buenos Aires. Above all things, DelfÃn wants to participate in a Children's Orchestra that is being formed in a neighboring village. This trip will become an adventure for him, and also for his father. Life may not be easy. It certainly isn't for DelfÃn, an 11-year-old boy who lives alone with his father in the barren, muddy outskirts of a Buenos Aires province small town. Over a week, DelfÃn wakes up early every morning to go to work, falls asleep in class, goes fishing frogs with friends, spies on a young teacher for whom he feels a fascination that can hardly understand, and in the absence of his dad faces again and again the collector who threatens an imminent eviction. But above all things, DelfÃn wants to participate in a Children's Orchestra that is being formed in a neighboring village. His ageing music teacher taught him to play the French horn, and DelfÃn will do the impossible to show up for the audition. This will mean an adventure for him and also for his father. The story takes place from Monday at five thirty in the morning, when DelfÃn gets up to do the deliveries of a bakery, until Sunday afternoon, when he and his father make an important decision in an attempt to change the course of their lives. "Scheuer's third feature, "Delfin" is produced by Buenos Aires-based Tarea Fina Films, and follows 11-year-old DelfÃn. The boy and his single father wake up with the sun each morning and work hard to keep away a debt collector threatening to evict them before DelfÃn heads to school, play with his friends and obsess over a teacher. In spite of his humble surroundings and overwhelming schedule, DelfÃn has lofty dreams of playing the French horn in the Children's Orchestra in a neighboring village." by Jamie Lang, Variety (May 19 2019)
