Laura, an academic and botanist, has vanished. Two men take to the road in search of her: they both love her. Why did she leave? Each one of them has his own suspicions and hides them from the other one who never truly becomes his rival. The first, six-chapter part alternates between two timelines and two quests: Rafael and Ezequiel’s search for Laura, and flashbacks to Ezequiel and Laura’s attempts to track down the identity of Carmen Zuna, a schoolteacher who had a passionate affair with a local landowner in the 1960s. Laura finds their erotic love letters hidden away in books at the library and becomes enamoured, her passion soon infecting Ezequiel.

“This film is part of a larger idea: a group of films where the same character lives different lives in different towns in the province of Buenos Aires. The first film of the saga is called Ostende and it’s my first film as a director. The character – Laura – is always performed by Laura Paredes. /…/ What crosses the whole saga is a central idea: a female Sherlock Holmes ‘of sorts’ lost in towns, keener for adventures than anything else. A film composed by different kind of women.” (Laura Citarella)

Lucy works at a high-end matchmaking company trying to pair up moneyed entrepreneurs with elite bachelors and bachelorettes. When she meets Harry at the wedding of two of her successfully paired clients, she immediately knows that this ‘unicorn’ would be a perfect catch for a lot of her customers. But Harry is more interested in Lucy. And then her ex suddenly shows up… As we could expect from the director of Past Lives, Materialists is not exactly a romantic comedy about a matchmaker torn between two suitors, but rather a lucid examination of the contradictions of love and dating.
