El camino de San Diego

Like most Argentines, Tati, a young man from the Misiones province, is Maradona crazy. Despite having no job and practically no cash, he maintains his cheerful spirit. The TV announcement of Maradona's admission to the Swiss-Argentine Hospital in Buenos Aires with heart problems is enough for the man to hit the road for the capital in order to personally give him the wooden resemblence he carries over the hills wrapped in newspaper along with a bag full of other carvings he hopes to sell. Setting out, he meets Warguinho as he proceeds on a voyage full of surprises and encounters. Will he be able to deliver the sculpture to his idol?

Carlos Sorin
After his debut with La película del Rey (1986), Goya Award for Best Foreign Film and Silver Lion at Venice, followed by Eversmile New Jersey (1989), Silver Shell for Best Actress for Mirjana Jokovic at San Sebastian, he spent a long period dedicated to advertising cinema, returning to feature films with Historias mínimas (Minimal Stories), selected for Films in Progress 1, Special Jury Prize at San Sebastian Festival and Goya for Best Foreign Film. His next film, El perro (2004), landed yet another prize at San Sebastian, this time in the shape of the FIPRESCI Award.
