WHISKY: Global Lens Collection

A Film by Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll

94 minutes, color, Uruguay, 2004, Spanish w/English Subtitles

The deadpan style of Jim Jarmusch meets Aki Kaurismaki’s wry sensibility in this perversely funny story set in Montevideo, Uruguay. When Jacobo, a lonely sock factory owner, hears about the impending visit of his irritatingly cheerful brother, who he hasn't seen in years, he enlists his faithful assistant Marta to pretend to be his wife.
