The virtual film club Date with Cinema begins its 2026 program with Los tonos mayores, by Ingrid Pokropek.
Ingrid Pokropek’s directorial debut brings us closer to a film that navigates fantasy and mystery through a story led by a remarkably sensitive teenage girl. This young Argentine filmmaker crafts a narrative rooted in a life stage where certainties are not necessarily the foundation for one’s sense of self.
The discussion about the film will be moderated by Carlos García Hernández and will feature the participation of its director, Ingrid Pokropek (video chat on April 13), and one of its actresses, Mercedes Halfon (video chat on April 20).
Synopsis: Los tonos mayores is a 2023 Argentine fantasy and mystery film written and directed by Ingrid Pokropek in her directorial debut. Starring Sofía Clausen in her first acting role, the film tells the story of Ana, a fourteen‑year‑old girl who discovers that the metal plate in her arm—implanted after a childhood accident—has begun receiving a strange message in Morse code.
A co‑production between Argentina and Spain, the film was selected for the Generation Kplus section of the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival, where it competed for the Crystal Bear for Best Film.
