Winner of Best Short Film at the Berlinale, Francisco Lezama’s idiosyncratic comedy sees life for what it is: absurd and mundane, with sporadic moments of serendipity. Twisting together diverse modern phenomena—dating apps, global finance—An Odd Turn is alive to the present in all its surprises.

On the run, newly pregnant Laura and her son, Matías, seek a safe haven from her abusive husband. But his dark shadow dogs their every step.
