Trailer & Synopsis
In this long-awaited return to directing of auteur Alejandro Agresti (The Lake House), one of the great names of recent Latin American cinema, veteran actors Luis Rubio and Eleonora Wexler star in this stunning and intimate story of the illusion of love.
Outside a Buenos Aires cinema, a man and a woman begin discussing the film they have just seen, continuing their conversation in a nearby café. There, they begin to construct a fantasy world where they can become who they have always wanted to be (a romantic novelist and an astronaut). Meeting every Thursday at the same time, in the same place, they live as their dream selves and soon begin to fall in love. But while imagination triumphs over reality for a time, soon they must come to terms with whether they can be together in the real world.
Featuring brilliant dialogue and moments of magic, What We Wanted to Be is an emotional chamber drama and a beautiful tribute to cinema as a place for dreams.
SPA25 What We Wanted to be is showing in cinemas since June 14, 2025 to July 13, 2025
