Las Acacias (Pablo Giorgelli, 2011)

A grouchy truck driver reluctantly takes a mother and baby with him as he drives from Paraguay to Buenos Aires, and this plot summary can hardly be expanded further, with little happening and the two protagonists hardly even talking to each other for the first half of the journey. It's a breath of fresh air in a world obsessed by the the need to generate fake drama when real life contains quite enough just as long as you know where to look. Of course they end up bonding, as that is the one dramatic element that requires resolution, but it's quite unforced and beautifully underplayed.
