After 10 years in Brazil, Matías visits his native Argentina. There, he gets along better with his childhood friend Jeronimo, who is an openly gay artist, than with his girlfriend. The two men travel together for a few days to the Esteros del Iberá, where they already got closer back then, but couldn't admit their feelings for each other. ESTEROS is the feature film debut of Argentinian director Papu Curotto. The film tells the story of a love that fights against social conventions and personal fears on two time levels. The young actors Joaquín Parada and Blas Finardi Niz, as well as their adult counterparts Ignacio Rogers and Esteban Masturini, embody the protagonists with a lot of heart. The camera captures the impressive landscape of the Esteros del Iberá and underscores the emotional depth of the story. The film celebrated its premiere at the Festival de Gramado 2016, where it received both the Audience Award for Best Feature Film and a Special Jury Prize. ESTEROS was subsequently screened at international festivals such as OUTFEST Los Angeles and the Inside Out Toronto LGBT Film Festival.
