Synopsis
Recently arrived in Argentina, 18 year-old Xiaobin (Xiaobin Zhang) is struggling with her Spanish: at her job in a market she does okay with the names of things but struggles with quantities. She enrolls in Spanish classes with her saved wages and as her grasp of the language improves, her world expands, and our glimpses of her life become richer and more expressive.
THE FUTURE PERFECT takes on an unusual question — what is it like to think and imagine in a language you’re still learning — with equal parts assurance and idiosyncrasy. Working with an inexperienced cast, director Nele Wohlatz uses her inarticulate characters to play out stories about communication, fantasy, and relationships. – A. Modi
