France (2010): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2010, France is a drama and family film directed by Adrián Caetano, running about 78 minutes. “Have you ever dreamed of traveling?” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Mariana doesn’t like her name and starts calling herself Gloria. Her parents split up before she was one year old and today, like many separated couples, they are brought back together under the same roof only because they don’t have a decent job. Cristina, her mother, rents a part of the house to her ex-husband for a bit of extra money. “Francia” talks about those people who will never travel far from their home, where they take refuge, for good or bad, from all disgusting things in the outside world. Meanwhile, Mariana puts on her headphones when she hears her parents fighting. Those fights which now serve as a relief to the helpless.

Who’s in it. France stars Milagros Caetano as Mariana / Gloria, Natalia Oreiro as Cristina, Lautaro Delgado Tymruk as Carlos Fernando and Daniel Valenzuela as Dr. Funes, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.2/10, France has proved divisive with audiences.
