GIGANTE
Uruguay/Germany/Netherlands/Argentina
2009
85 minutes
A lonely security guard working the surveillance camera night shift at a supermarket spots a young cleaning lady whom he takes a liking to, and starts following her everywhere... even after work. Dry but extremely sweet observational comedy that takes the sting out of its potentially unpalatable premise by wrapping it in acute character observation and some wonderfully detached sight gags.

(World sales, The Match Factory.)
Starring Horacio Camandulle, Leonor Svarcas.
Directed and written by Adrián Biniez; music by Hector Pauluk; director of photography (Cineco), Arauco Hernández; art director, Alejandro Castiglioni; costume designer, Emilia Carlevaro; film editor, Fernando Epstein.
Screened: Berlin Film Festival 2009 advance press screening, Berlinale Palast (Berlin), February 8th 2009; distributor advance press screening, Cinema City Classic Alvalade 1 (Lisbon), August 26th 2010.
