Risa y la cabina del viento is already turning heads on Netflix and has become one of the most talked-about Argentine premieres at the moment. Starring Cazzu in her film debut and Diego Peretti, the film is being hailed as one of the year’s major bets on the platform.
The film, directed by Juan Cabral, arrives on the catalog after its run at international festivals and following a positive reception from critics, who highlighted its sensitive approach and its aesthetics linked to magical realism.
An emotional story set in southern Argentina
The plot is set in Ushuaia and follows the story of Risa, a ten-year-old girl who lives with her mother in a remote setting. In the midst of her daily routine, the protagonist discovers an old abandoned telephone booth that becomes the starting point of an unexpected mystery.
From that discovery, Risa begins to receive messages from people who have died but still have pending matters, which leads her to become involved in stories steeped in loss, memory, and bonds that transcend time.
A narrative between drama and magical realism
With a blend of fantasy, sensitivity and drama, the film offers a deeply emotional look at grief and childhood, leaning on the strength of its Patagonian landscapes and a poetic narrative.
The film explores how human connections can persist even after death, building a story that aims at both the intimate and the universal.
A cast of notable figures
In addition to Cazzu and Diego Peretti, the cast includes:
- Joaquín Furriel
- Elena Romero
- Graciela Borges
- and other renowned performers in national cinema
A major Netflix bet on Argentine cinema
The premiere reinforces Netflix’s strategy of continuing to bet on local productions with international reach, especially those that blend original stories with strong cultural roots.
In that sense, Risa y la cabina del viento stands out as one of the year’s strongest bets within the Argentine catalog, with potential to become one of the platform’s most-watched films.
