Filmhouse/New Cinema Club of Kalamata-THE BRIDE'S SON
Spread the word
42-year-old Rafael Belvedere is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. At this critical age, he realizes that nothing seems to be going well. Obligations overwhelm him and Rafael never has the opportunity to have fun and live out his choices. He has been trying to run the restaurant since his father, Nino, started many years ago. Rafael may have succeeded but always lives in his father's shadow. He feels powerless to fulfil the expectations of those around him who are constantly pressuring him.
As if that wasn't enough, his ex-wife complains that he doesn't spend enough time with their daughter while his romantic partner pressures him to commit. His father is already planning to remarry his Alzheimer 's-stricken wife after 44 years of marriage in a religious ceremony. A slight heart attack will overturn this stressful situation for Rafael.
The Son of the Bride earned an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film and was a box office success in Argentina.
