Notes for My Son

Notes for My Son (El cuaderno de Tomy, 2020) is an Argentine drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Carlos Sorín and based on a true story. María Vásquez, diagnosed with a terminal illness, began writing a notebook for her young son Tomás — memories, instructions, answers to questions he would ask when he was old enough to understand them.

Valeria Bertuccelli plays the lead, and she keeps the character in motion. Her version of the woman does not grieve on screen — she writes. Esteban Lamothe plays the husband managing each day as it comes. The film runs 83 minutes and is built from small moments rather than big declarations.
