The Woman from Uruguay

The Uruguayan is a 2022 film directed by Ana García Blaya. It is produced by the Orsai Community (Comunidad Orsai in Spanish) led by Argentinean author Hernán Casciari and Christian «Chiri» Basilis. It's the film adaptation of Pedro Mairal's "The Uruguayan" novel published in 2016, which achieved remarkable commercial success. The film was financed through crowdfunding. Plot The film tells the story of Lucas Pereyra, an Argentinean author who travels to Uruguay for the day to buy US dollars with an advance he received for a book that he hadn't yet delivered. In Montevideo he agreed to secretly meet Magalí Guerra, based on fond memories of a prior visit. His plans don't go as expected. Production To finance the film production, the Community released six thousand bonds at a unit price of 100 dollars each, and all members were allowed to buy up to 200 bonds each, thus becoming associate producers. The film profits will be distributed proportionally with all associate producers based on their number of bonds. All bonds were purchased within the first two months, and the film was fully financed before any other production first steps, including producer, film director or any other staff was employed or selected.
