Movie description:
Xavi and Rosana, two childhood friends from Uruguay, meet after 20 years in Spain. They recall the horrific time two decades ago when Marxist rebels in Uruguay were planning to overthrow the leadership. Fearing for the life of his son, Xavi’s father packs him off to a cabin in the countryside, later sending Rosana too. There the two experience love for the first time...
Two young people learn about love as politics turn their world upside down in the drama »Paisito« (aka »Small Country«) from director Ana Diez. After a long and successful career as a soccer player, Xavi retires from the game and moves to Spain, where one day to his surprise he happens upon Rosana, a friend from his childhood in Uruguay. As Xavi and Rosana catch up on what has happened to them over the past twenty years, they flash back to 1973, when young Xavi and his father Manuel, a shoemaker, lived down the street from Rosana. Rosana’s father Severgnini was the local chief of police, and found himself frequently dealing with military authorities as rebels began plotting an overthrow of Uruguay’s leadership. While Manuel is largely apolitical, he has friends who are fighting with the rebels, and when he’s warned of an upcoming action at a soccer match, he packs Xavi off to a cabin in the country, and as word is leaked to Severgnini, he sends Rosana off with him. The two youngsters soon find themselves caught in the web of first love, but as a coup throws all of Uruguay into chaos, the simplicity of their stay in the country proves short lived ...
