The Good Intentions

We are in Buenos Aires in the early 1990s. Ten year-old Amanda faces an impossible dillema when she learns that her mother and stepfather are moving to Paraguay to escape a poverty-stricken Argentina. They wil be taking Amanda and her two younger siblings with them, which means that Amanda can no longer live part-time with her beloved father, who has a more carefree approach to parenting and life in general. The Good Intentions is a tender feel-good film about a father/daughter relationship. It is director Ana García Blayas debut film, and the story bears close resemblance to her own childhood experience.

Ana García Blaya is a director from Buenos Aires in Argentina, where she studies Communication at the university. García Blaya previously worked as assistant director and editor on several film productions, and developed the script to her first feature film The Good Intentions over a number of years. The film screened at the prestigious film festivals in Toronto and San Sebastian this fall.
