FROM THE MOVIE "MY BEST FRIEND" (MI MEJOR AMIGO) AND THE TV SHOW "SIMONA" : LAUTARO RODRIGUEZ
By ARGENTINEMEN - June 12, 2018
La película argentina “Mi mejor amigo”, de Martín Deus, ganó el Gran Premio Écran Junior en la 71ª edición del Festival Internacional de Cine de Cannes.
En esa sección participan películas que son de particular interés para jóvenes de 13 a 15 años, en las que se desarrollan temas o escenarios que los confrontarán con el mundo y con otras culturas, porque se evocan civilizaciones, estilos de vida y países desconocidos para los jóvenes franceses.
Protagonizada por Angelo Mutti Spinetta, Lautaro Rodríguez, Moro Anghileri y Guillermo Pfening, la película sigue la historia de Lorenzo, un adolescente que vive en la Patagonia y recibe en su casa a Caíto, el hijo de unos amigos de la familia que están pasando por una grave situación y no se pueden hacer cargo de él.
“Mi mejor amigo” fue elegida entre nueve producciones de diferentes países del mundo, por un jurado conformado por integrantes del Gérard-Philipe College en Cannes, quienes —supervisados por profesionales del cine— deben determinar cuál es la mejor producción para trabajarla en clase y discutir su valor cultural y cinematográfico.

Synopsis
Lorenzo, a quiet teenager lives in a small town at the edge of the world in beautiful Patagonia.
He’s a good student and a curious and smart person, more skilled in music and literature than sports.
Lorenzo’s father decides to host Caito, the son of a friend from Buenos Aires who had to go to hospital for a long stay.
Caito has obviously a different family background and seems to be a tough kid. Lorenzo finds Caito very intriguing in many ways as they start spending a lot of time together… While their friendship is evolving towards perhaps deeper feelings, Caito reveals a secret…what will be the outcome?
