Belmonte

2019 Sarasota Film Festival

Narrative Feature

Multiple award-winning Uruguayan director, Frederico Veiroj, returns to the international festival circuit with his fourth feature, BELMONTE. Belmonte is a middle-aged painter who creates unsettling and often confusing works of art that seem to speak to a growing melancholy and increasingly blurred lines between reality and dark fantasy. When he discovers his ex-wife becomes pregnant with another man’s child and is met with growing resistance over the custody of their daughter, Celeste, Belmonte retreats further into a world of foreboding unknown.
