Desire

Desire (Desearás al hombre de tu hermana, 2017) is an Argentine drama directed by Diego Kaplan — watch it online on iFILM. Two people meet for the first time at a family wedding and both immediately sense they should have stayed strangers.

Lucía and Ofelia are sisters who haven't spoken in seven years. The occasion that brings them together is Lucía's marriage to Juan. Within hours of meeting, Juan and Ofelia feel something neither of them asked for and neither of them can quite ignore. Mónica Antonópulos and Guilherme Winter play out this impossible situation without ever letting it tip into melodrama — the tension stays close to the surface, unspoken.

The film is quiet and controlled, which is what makes it land. Some stories about desire get loud. This one stays still and lets the discomfort do the work. Stream Desire online on iFILM.
