Paraguay presents for the first time a film for the shortlist for the Hollywood Academy Award for best film in non-English language and He does it with the film 'Cloudy Weather' by Arami Ullon.
Many years have passed until finally Paraguay has decided to present a film to the Oscars and it does not seem that it will have excessive options in order to arrive at the gala, since has decided to seek the nomination with a documentary, a genre that is not very successful beyond its own category.
Despite the few options you may have of arriving at the gala or at least passing the first cut in the category of best film in foreign language, it must be said that we are facing a great documentary that obtained a great success at the Visions du réel Festival, where it received the award for the best film in the Regard Neuf section and a special mention, and at the Karlovy Vary Festival.
'Cloudy weather' tells the story of the film's director herself Arami Ullon, who for as long as he can remember has seen his mother suffer from epilepsy and Parkinson's. Arami lives in Switzerland with her partner, while her mother lives in Paraguay, cared for by an unprepared caregiver, so Arami must think about whether to return to Paraguay to care for her mother when she worsens and her caregiver cannot take care of herself. .
