Kept & Dreamless (Las Mantenidas Sin Sueños)
(Vera Fogwill and Martín Desalvo, Argentina, 2005)

During Argentina's economic crisis of the '90s, nine year-old Eugenia and her mother, Florencia, live a seemingly colorful life surrounded by eclectic neighbors and an offbeat collection of family. But for Eugenia, who must deal with her mother's dysfunctional and drug-addled lifestyle, life is anything but pleasant in this darkly inspiring story of expectation, acceptance and nontraditional family, led by standout performances from director Vera Fogwill and young actress Lucía Snieg.

Kept & Dreamless is featured in Global Lens 2008, a U.S. based touring film series presented by The Global Film Initiative.
