Netflix doubles down on its commitment to Argentine storytelling with the announcement of two new films, both starting production this month:

Lo dejamos ac - Starring Ricardo Dar n and Diego Peretti, directed by Hern n Goldfrid, written by Emanuel Diez, and produced by Kenya Films. The film centers on a pragmatic psychoanalyst (Dar n) who loses faith in traditional psychological methods and begins crossing ethical lines with his patients. Everything seems to work-until a creatively blocked writer (Peretti) enters his practice.

El ltimo gigante - Directed and written by Marcos Carnevale and produced by Leyenda Films & Kuarzo International Films, this film stars Oscar Mart nez, Mat as Mayer, In s Est vez, Luis Luque, Silvia Kutika, and Yoyi Francella. The story follows Boris, a charismatic tour guide who unexpectedly reunites with his father Juli n, who abandoned him 28 years ago. Through tense and emotional encounters, the two explore past wounds, resentment, and the possibility of forgiveness.

These two new feature films join the previously announced Parque Lezama, which started production this month . Written and directed by Juan Jos Campanella and produced by 100 Bares Producciones, the film stars Luis Brandoni and Eduardo Blanco, with a supporting cast including Ver nica Pelaccini, Agust n Rada Aristar n, Manuela Men ndez, Alan Fern ndez, and Mat as Alarc n. The film tells the story of the unlikely friendship between a lifelong Communist activist and a man who prefers to stay out of politics. From a bench in Parque Lezama, Antonio Cardozo and Le n Schwartz share conversations full of laughter, tenderness, and emotion while navigating conflicts with others in the park and their own families. The film is an adaptation of the successful Argentine stage play of the same name, based on Im Not Rappaport by American playwright Herb Gardner.

Our commitment to Argentina is unwavering. We are passionate about being part of the audiovisual creation of this incredible country, promoting its cinema both within and beyond its borders. We will continue offering the highest-quality entertainment to our members and showcasing the best of Argentina through its films, which are unique and globally acclaimed. I'm especially proud to strengthen our collaboration with Ricardo Dar n, with Kenya Films, and with Juan Jos Campanella, with whom we are already working on two projects. We hope they find a home at Netflix, said Francisco Ramos, Vice President of Content for Latin America.
