Synopsis
Simon of the Mountain (Simón de la montaña, 2024) is an Argentine drama you can watch online on iFILM. Twenty-one-year-old Simon lives at the foot of the Andes and feels a widening gap between the person he dreams of being and the one he actually is. So he sets out to remake himself from scratch.
He falls in with two young people with disabilities and slowly dissolves into their world, where friendship, tenderness and play run on their own rules. The longer it lasts, the blurrier the line gets between who Simon is and the part he may be performing. First-time director Federico Luis Tachella shoots without sentiment, and Lorenzo Ferro carries the whole thing on a single elusive, unreadable gaze. The film took the top prize at Cannes Critics' Week — a slow, uneasy watch for anyone who likes questions left open. Stream Simon of the Mountain (2024) online on iFILM.
