An Omnibus of Six Stories

'Wild Tales,' the film that captivated Argentina, a nation passionate about cinema, is an omnibus of six distinct stories. Its unpredictable twists and astonishing, unexpected endings have taken the world by storm. This film, which delighted cinephiles and provoked uproarious laughter, is finally arriving in Japan.

The director and screenwriter is Damián Szifron. Pedro Almodóvar, the master filmmaker behind 'All About My Mother,' which won the Best Director Award at Cannes and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, was so impressed by Szifron's talent, already recognized in Argentina, that he stepped in as producer. He reportedly instructed the production team, "Don't change a single comma in Szifron's script."

Similarly, the cast comprises a stellar lineup of Argentina's leading stars and acclaimed actors, all drawn to Szifron's script.

What Awaits the Six Strangers Who Accidentally Flip the Switch?

Our daily lives harbor switches that should never be flipped. A fashion model whose fellow passengers on a plane are all acquaintances of her ex-boyfriend; a waitress who serves a dish laced with cat repellent to a customer who wronged her family; a man who curses and overtakes a slow-moving car. Six individuals, through a careless act, flip a switch, leading to unimaginable consequences.

What triggers the flip of that switch, and what world awaits on the other side? This film masterfully blends sharp, witty dark comedy with poignant human drama, opening a door to a cinematic world unlike any you've encountered before.
