Family Law

Ariel Perelman (Daniel Hendler) is in his thirties and has spent years trying not to turn into his father Bernardo (Arturo Goetz), a Buenos Aires lawyer who has made a career of the family trade. The more Ariel tries to set himself apart, the more he catches his own habits and gestures matching the old man's. Daniel Burman writes it in small, dry domestic scenes, and Ariel keeps measuring himself against a man he can't stop becoming.
