MÁNCORA

I'm looking forward to this weekend. Not only is "I Love You, Man" coming out this weekend, I start my new job at Marketing Werks in Chicago. PLUS, I might be able to catch Mancora, while in Chicago since its only having a limited release here in the states. Random Fact: Jason Day (the lead actor) was born the same day I was born.



From director Ricardo de Montreuil comes MÁNCORA, a tender and pulsating road-trip drama that delicately traces the shifting emotional boundaries between three disconnected souls.
MÁNCORA introduces us to Santiago (Jason Day), a 21-year old from Lima who is haunted by his fathers recent and unexpected suicide. Suffocating in the chill of a grey Lima winter, Santiago decides to take refuge in MÁNCORA, a beach town in the north of the country where summer never ends. Right before his departure, Santiago receives an unexpected visit from his stepsister Ximena (Elsa Pataky), a vibrant, sexy Spanish photographer and her husband Iñigo (Enrique Murciano), a brash art-collector from New York. The tranquility of their getaway is quickly shattered by a powerful act of boundary-crossing and betrayal, which threatens to transform their relationship forever and turn Máncora into a paradise lost.
