The Young but very experienced Camila Peralta (Clara is lost in the forest, change change) A silent character embodies again, not so much enigmatic and difficult to apprehend, at least until the script solves some of the mysteries it raises. His Nancy is a girl who lives all year in Villa Gesell cleaning other people’s houses, of those that are usually inhabited during the summer or when a client chooses to rent it during a long weekend. Cute houses, wide windows overlooking the grove and a certain rustic aroma. Nancy receives a call from the owner, who asks her to leave everything impeccable: her son spent the weekend and turned to the city to those hurried by a storm.

Nancy cleans dishes, toilets and shelves; Order the disorder and put the objects thrown again. It also removes the sheets to wash them and, at that time, A blood stain In the place that usually occupies the belly puts it tense. first signal, within a few minutes of projection, that the introverted character of the protagonist can have some timely, traumatic origin.

Nancy moves away from the first minute of that Non -official subgenre of Argentine cinema: Vacations out of season on the Buenos Aires coast. Here Porteños have no place And, in an intelligent work decision with the offside, they do not even appear. I barely listen to them. The protagonists are those who live in the place all year, such as Nancy herself and a young electrician, Juan (Luciano Ledesma), with whom he starts a link in principle only professional: she opens and closes the house door to make the relevant arrangements and improvements in the alarm system. There is something melindroso in Nancy, a constant fear to something or someone unnamed, who brings her very tangentially to thriller Or even the police, although that aspect never ends, very consciously, to develop. When Nancy finally accepts an intimate advance of Juan, the plot leaves the minimalism well understood and throw a last third where the secrets cease to be such.

The best thing about Nancy is the above, the description of the protagonist’s activities, the relationship with the surrounding spaces. And the intensity of the naps, which take it by assault in not always relevant circumstances. Without underlinesLuciano Zito achieves one of the best sequences when the girl takes a new job in a luxurious house and uses the jacuzzi after cleaning it (the sexual desire co -folded by something unspeakable) and a simple spit puts the entire load of the load of the entire load of the Class shock. A subsequent confession clarifies some goals and, from there in more, the film loses some internal intensity, although Paradoxically Nancy leaves its apparent domestic. The fictional fiction opera of Zito, which was part of the recent BAFICIit shows a precise eye for frames – which enhances the sensation of isolation of the protagonist even when it is not alone – supported by a remarkable sound work and the atmospheric electronic music of the duo Jackson Souvenirs.
