Chile’s BF Distribution, among the leading distributors in Latin America, has picked up Latin American and Spanish distribution rights to “El Silencio de Marcos Tremmer” with BF Distribution partners Carlos Hansen and Matias Cardone of Invercine Chile boarding the pic as executive producers. 

Shot in the Dominican Republic, Uruguay and Madrid, it was helmed by Spanish director Miguel García de la Calera (“Caribbean,  All-Inclusive”) and is currently in post. 

The film stars Benjamín Vicuña (“Mienteme,” “Locked Up”), Adriana Ugarte (Pedro Almodovar’s “Julieta”), Daniel Hendler (a Berlin best actor winner for “Lost Embrace”) and Felix Gomez (“La caza”).

Vicuña plays Marcos Tremmer, a prosperous Uruguayan ad executive residing in Madrid, who is madly in love with his wife, Lucía (Ugarte). However, one day, Marcos uncovers a grim truth – a fatal illness that will claim his life in a matter of months. To spare Lucía from the inevitable anguish, he takes a risky step: he opts to conceal his condition and distance himself from her.

The drama raises moral questions about the extent to which we can make decisions for others and the blurry line between altruism and arrogance. It delves into Tremmer’s decision to estrange his wife, a decision he believes is right but begins to question as the plot unfolds. 

“We are thrilled that BF will be in charge of distributing the film, allowing it to reach a broad audience in Latin America and Spain. Our hope is that it will eventually be available on platforms and screens worldwide,” said García de la Calera who also produced the pic alongside Adolfo López and Hans García from the Dominican Republic; Félix Rodriguez and Pedro de la Fuente, Spain and Federico Moreira, Uruguay. 

The five-way co-production, not uncommon among producers seeking to mitigate costs and tap the incentives of their respective territories, comprises Spain, Dominican Republic, Chile, Uruguay and Argentina.
