GRAN AVENIDA (MAIN AVENUE)

Gabriel Cañas stars in this dark comedy about a separated and insecure office worker who, upon learning that his ex-wife plans to take his daughter away, decides to go on a ‘trip’ with the girl to another city. But things spiral out of control when he loses track of her. Multiple stories intertwine in a plot where a stolen phone, a poorly planned kidnapping, and a series of blunders bring together a group of neighbors from Gran Avenida, in the southern part of Santiago.
