Synopsis
Leopoldo Torre Nilsson was already a renowned filmmaker when he released The Terrace in 1963. An unavoidable referent for the entire generation of filmmakers that sprung in that decade, he was both a promoter and defender of that new independent film production. However, the work of these young men –David Kohon, Rodolfo Kuhn and Lautaro Murúa, among others– was very different from his most celebrated films like The Party Is Over or La casa del ángel. The Terrace produced a sort of inverse movement, since it was Torre Nilsson himself who deliberately approached the films of that new generation. Hence the film’s echoes of a young universe charged with turbulence and uncertainty, and that similar unease for the fate of those who will have to, on one hand, begin their own path in a country that doesn’t provide them with a lot of securities –not even for these young bourgeois–, and on the other, stand against their parents. Right from the film’s initial situation –some young people trapped on a building’s rooftop– the story carries a masterly insistence as it goes through that tension, which is no other than the clash between generations.
