In Diego Lerman's slyly comic drama Suddenly, a pair of knowing punkette malcontents (who call themselves Mao and Lenin) kidnap (sort of) Marcia, a frumpy lovelorn lingerie salesgirl. Mao announces her intention to seduce Marcia as the trio strikes out on a journey that is poignant, funny and unpredictable from beginning to end.
Won Berlin and other 19 awards

Marcia es una chica joven, gorda, que lleva una vida rutinaria y gris en la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Mao y Lenin son una pareja de chicas Punk, que tropiezan con Marcia y por algún motivo inexplicable se empeñan en demostrarle su amor.
Mao se declara caprichosamente enamorada de ella y para que no le queden dudas al respecto le ofrece una prueba de amor.
"Porque el amor que no tiene explicaciones tiene pruebas, y las pruebas valen tanto como el amor" le dirá Mao.
A partir de allí, las tres (intrépidas unas, aturdida la otra) comienzan un viaje que parte desde Buenos Aires, con un destino y un regreso inciertos, que van postergándose de manera azarosa.
Este viaje que emprenden resulta cada vez más asombroso, con múltiples cambios de paisajes, cadencias, fantasías y mucho humor.
Un recorrido en busca de un lugar imposibles, perpetuo a la vez, un lugar que todo el tiempo van dejando atrás
Tan de repente aka Suddenly (2002)

A delightfully unpredictable sleeper that proves new Argentine cinema really exists, "Suddenly," by 26-year-old Diego Lerman, starts scary, moves through deadpan comic and comes out with a whimsical tenderness for its characters that audiences will share. Fleshing out his 1999 short film "The Proof," loosely based on a Cesar Aira story, Lerman tells of the "kidnapping" of a lonely, overweight young lingerie saleswoman by two lesbian punkettes, who turn her world around – and vice versa. Outrageous, funny and hip, pic prods viewers to take sides and make judgments about situations in constant turnaround. It won a special jury prize and the audience award at last year's Buenos Aires Independent Cinema Festival, and should work well in markets already attuned to Argentine low-budget filmmaking – and maybe even open a few doors to the genre.

A pair of glowering Buenos Aires dykes kidnap a dumpy, depressed lingerie salesgirl at knifepoint, hijack a taxi, and . . . take her to the beach? Things only get sweeter and more surprising from there in first-timer Diego Lerman's black-and-white road movie, Suddenly, a humane, unassumingly quirky rumination on chance and caprice. Happenstance impels the plot, but this is no diagram of karmic destiny or butterfly-effect interconnection (and Audrey Tautou is nowhere to be seen). Instead, the film, true to its title, blows along its unpredictable course like a tumbleweed, generously accommodating its characters' unrulier impulses, adhering to no narrative laws or higher order save a secular faith in the arbitrary.

The opening scenes cultivate a somewhat misleading air of menace: A pierced, jackbooted, soft-butch duo, the inexplicably named Mao (Carla Crespo) and Lenin (Véronica Hassan), stroll along city streets in an aloof sulk. Meanwhile, Marcia (Tatiana Saphir), still moping over an ex-boyfriend, flounders in a dismaying routine of boring workdays and lonely nights. Catching sight of Marcia through an arcade window one morning, Mao runs after her and cuts to the chase: "Do you want to fuck?" No blushing flower and not one for small talk, Mao goes on to flatly profess her love (Lenin, lingering a few paces back, dryly notes that she could learn to love Marcia too), and while their target is aghast and fearful, she's also flattered by the attention—and vaguely excited by the almost magical possibility of escape from her dreary existence.

Once Suddenly leaves the city behind, the girls—and Lerman—are essentially making it up as they go along. Marcia has never seen the beach, so Mao and Lenin, taking their cue from Y Tu Mamá También, surprise her with a stop at the ocean—proof, Mao declares, of her love. After their stolen taxi breaks down, they hitchhike, eventually ending up in the riverside town of Rosario, where Lenin dimly remembers having an aunt. The aged Blanca (Beatriz Thibaudín), who herself barely remembers her niece, has a couple of lodgers living with her: shy biology student Felipe (Marcos Ferrante) and soft-spoken teacher Delia (María Merlino). Once Lerman has maneuvered these six, very different individuals into each other's orbits, he spends the rest of the film performing a sort of benevolent physics experiment, assembling them in various permutations, bouncing one character off another like pinballs, or charged particles in a collision chamber—establishing, dissolving, and re-establishing relationships until a new equilibrium is attained.

Only 26 when he made Suddenly, Lerman is part of the youthful boom in low-budget filmmaking that has coincided with Argentina's spectacular economic bust (Pablo Trapero, Lucrecia Martel, and Adrián Caetano have all had hits on the festival circuit, along with small theatrical runs in New York). Economical yet lackadaisical, Suddenly—with its crisp monochrome grain and deadpan oddballs-in-transit scenario—unavoidably suggests Jarmusch's Stranger Than Paradise (and also Kaurismäki's Take Care of My Scarf, Tatiana). Some of its loveliest moments are wordless: Lenin and Blanca gazing at each other while enveloped in a fog of cigarette smoke, Felipe curiously tailing Mao as she shoplifts, a boating trip that ends with a rapt close-up of Blanca's remarkable, weathered face. Deceptively slender, Suddenly is a supremely generous working example of the horoscope prescription that Marcia receives early on—to live "with such dynamism that each day turns in unexpected ways."
