Window boy would also like to have a submarine is his first feature film. Director Statement“As a Uruguayan living in Argentina, I frequently travel back to my country on a journey by ferry that lasts three hours. It is a passage between two parallel possibilities of worlds; what people know about me in Buenos Aires is unknown in Montevideo and vice versa. This situation made me feel, at least at first, strangely free and powerful at times, by not belonging anywhere. The ship works as an interval between these two possible worlds: the border between two places which never meet, but also the border between countless places that could meet. I had discovered that the ship was actually a mechanism with secret doors leading to several spaces that were both far away and contiguous at the same time. It was a fantastic, indeterminate zone.”

An arthouse film in which different stories intertwine in a cinematic labyrinth.
