Many children want to believe that they can communicate with animals and form special bonds that only they understand. But for the lovely little girl at the heart of the director Ivan Foundation information ((information), listening to dogs, cats, turtles, horses and various animals is a money-making career, she is exercising and has a lot of tender loving care.

The strange thing about the minimalist nature of this road film is that Anika Bootz and her caregivers Myriam (Mara Bestelli) and Roger (Marcelo Subiotto), who visited the Argentine countryside as a “natural spirit” Sell ​​the girl's service. Claiming that she can communicate with the soul of her pet, Anika connects animal "information" (either directly or via voicemail) with owners who want to know what Rex, Rex or fluffy or cookies are actually thinking. In return, the girl and her guardian live a casual #vanlife, wandering around the land like an old circus and parking the RV wherever you need it.

With its gorgeous black and white photography and laid back resonance, information Think of Peter Boganovich's 1973 classic Paper Moonamong them there is a little girl and a liar on the road to America in the era of depression. Argentina portrayed in the Foundation's film also feels like it's going through some tough times, although the director focuses more on the good long journey of the trio as they take them out of Anika's magic.

Of course, the question is whether this is a scam or is it a real thing. But the movie never really solved the problem, nor did it add any basic plot to its settings. It's a little unfortunate because traveling with Anika and her Hucksters was a pleasant experience, even if it was an experience that never evolved into a full story. Like this, information Will ride the festival tour, but it will be even harder for international distributors.

Working with talented DP Gustave Schiaffino, himself a trained photographer, creates a highly contrasting, low-budget aesthetic that recalls early work by Jim Jarmusch Stranger than heaven and According to lawor Wim Wenders movie The King of the Road. Capture the simple beauty of nature, whether it’s domesticated animals at home or roaming freely the streets of an abandoned town information Despite the lack of any potential narrative tension, it is easy to watch.

Sometimes, a movie script is more like a documentary than a novel, even if something happens. The charming Zootz is so natural that she makes Anika's antics, which involves repeating any puppy or kitten telling her telepathically that it feels totally normal, almost like she's bored with her supernatural abilities.

Meanwhile, Myriam and Roger try their best to keep their business going, distributing flyers, collecting payments and conducting TV news interviews to insert Anika’s talent. Is it her two grandparents or just raising funds from her? Again, the film does not adequately answer this question.

A touching scene does show them taking Anika to visit their mother at a psychiatric hospital, but there isn't much dialogue between them, and this is the last time we hear it. There are other moments of backstory maturity – including Roger who used to be a real circus clown, as the old photos reveal, these facts are still unquestionably the foundation, who are more interested in maintaining a certain emotion .

He managed to do this with a relaxing 90 minutes, trapping us into a world where one person, animals and children seem to exist in the same quiet plane. Later in the action, the truck stopped on the side of the road, Anika got out, and a Capybara approaching the wild emerged from the brush. Is she reading or is she admiring it like any other child? It doesn't matter: it's a movie where all the meaning of the medium is more important than the message.
