A country house and a double date. It begins cordially, politely — of course — until alcohol starts laying down its own law, loosening tongues and inhibitions. In its wake come old conflicts between siblings and spouses, tensions, resentments, and the you-never-told-me-this revelations long left unsaid.
Welcome to the Passive-Aggressive Olympics. In Tres, four friends spend a weekend at a country house, but the idyllic retreat quickly turns into a battlefield defined by indirect barbs and direct attacks. Argentine director Juan Ignacio Ceballos builds an atmosphere of stifling tension where social courtesy is nothing more than a mask about to slip under the weight of biting comments. What begins as a getaway between friends quickly escalates into full-blown aggression, driven by a masterfully developed script and sharp dialogues. (María Angélica Contreras)
