18세기 아순시온의 스페인 장교 자마는 새 부임지로의 발령을 간절히 기다리지만, 왕의 전갈은 도착할 기미가 없다. 안토니오 디 베네데토의 원작 소설을 아르헨티나의 여성 거장 감독 루크레시아 마르텔이 영화로 옮긴 작품. 감독 특유의 시적 화면과 실존에 대한 성찰이 돋보인다.

Cliente
Relationship between a trans daughter and her father.
Each love story in the film takes us to a different past, from a different present. The hope for a bright future is an illusion that keeps us expecting, as it unleashes the anguish of waiting for something extraordinary to happen. In this strange time, shaped by memory pieces and by what could have happened but didn’t, is where the characters of the film inhabit, awaiting the arrival of the future. The storyteller in “In the Future” is a ghost. My ghost.
