Uruguayan and Argentine ⁤collaboration brings ‘Water Never Hurt’ to life

A ⁢new family drama emerges

In a‌ remarkable collaboration, Uruguayan production company La Mayor has teamed up with Argentina’s Pez Dorado Creative Co. to co-produce Ana ⁤Clara Bustelo’s upcoming family drama, Water Never Hurt. This partnership‍ signifies a⁢ growing ⁣trend ​of ⁢international cooperation in the film industry, especially crucial for⁤ Argentine productions facing financial constraints.

A glimpse into the future

Currently in post-production, ​ Water Never Hurt is set ‌to make its​ early debut at ⁢the Sanfic’s Ibero-American Work in Progress section. The​ film is expected to be ready for distribution next year, promising a poignant narrative that resonates with audiences‌ worldwide.

The necessity of international alliances

The Argentine‍ film ⁢industry has ⁣been grappling with reduced cultural⁣ investment due⁢ to ongoing austerity measures. This⁣ has made international partnerships more ​vital than ​ever. As producer Tatiana Oruste aptly⁢ puts it, “It’s very difficult to think about the business model‌ we might adopt‍ in Argentina in the coming years​ due to the significant withdrawal of state support‍ from the industry at this moment. It is⁣ a ‌time to resist and ‍reinvent ourselves. But without a ⁣doubt, I believe that international alliances will ‌be our⁤ greatest strength.”

A story of⁢ resilience and discovery

Set against‌ the backdrop of​ Argentina’s 2001 economic ⁣crisis, Water Never​ Hurt tells the compelling story of nine-year-old Juana. After a horseback⁣ riding accident leaves her injured, Juana undergoes ⁢surgery without her consent ⁣and is left immobilized. Her​ journey through ⁢intense physical therapy becomes a path of‍ self-discovery, as she finds​ answers in the⁤ healing waters⁣ of ‌her training sessions that her family cannot provide.

Oruste explains, “Water Never Hurt invites us to rethink our societal conception of childhood as fragile, weak, and delicate. ⁤It proposes an alternative where children ⁤can make decisions​ about their lives, even at a young age, enabling‍ dialogue within the family.”

A⁣ talented cast and crew

Newcomer Máxima Moral ‍ stars as Juana, supported by ​a talented cast including ​ Celina Carrascosa, Gema Vera, Martin Aguado, and José Anechinni. The film’s participation in various labs and workshops, along with ⁤its accolades from the Raymundo Gleyzer Competition and the National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts‍ (INCAA), underscores its ​potential impact.
