Meanwhile
Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007]
Director: Diego Lerman, Country: Argentina, Release: 2006, Runtime: 90

Violeta can’t decide if she wants to move to Ibiza with her boyfriend Mono or just break up with him. Dalmiro’s ceramics business isn’t going so well, but things might be looking up. Sergio and Susana are trying to start a family. These and other characters form the rich, affecting tapestry in Meanwhile, the second feature by Diego Lerman. He focuses here on those in-between moments in people’s lives—those times after a decision’s possibilities have been accepted but before it’s been put into effect. His characters move in and out of each other’s orbits, sometimes effecting final decisions or inadvertently foreshadowing unexpected consequences, together creating a portrait of a generation used to waiting and enduring.

Diego Lerman studied at the University of Buenos Aires. His first feature film, Suddenly, won numerous film festival awards and he was selected by Cinéfondation to participate in the Résidence du Festival de Cannes in 2006. Meanwhile is his second feature film.
