Plot



On an island in the Paran Delta of Argentina, lvaro (Romn) works as a fisherman and a reed cutter. His homosexuality and love of books make him an outsider in the small village. The brutish El Turu (Valenzuela) captains 'La Len', the town ferry. He views lvaro as a threat, bullying him almost constantly. However, as the film progresses, El Turu's hidden attraction to lvaro becomes obvious.[https://web.archive.org/web/20070927220849/http://www.seattlefilm.org/festival/film/detail.aspx?id=26158&fid=32 La Len | 2007 Seattle International Film Festival | Santiago Otheguy | Argentina][https://web.archive.org/web/20070830004531/http://www.sydneyfilmfestival.org/film_details.asp?id=21&fID=236 Program Sydney Film Festival][https://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809835835/details 'La Len' (2007)] Yahoo!
