“Medianeras”
The Argentinean movie “Medianeras” shows us both Mariana and Martin`s struggle to be happy within a city in which
“meeting up” and “getting together” might seem easier that it actually is. Both
characters present themselves as depressed people who, after having been
abandoned or hurt, constantly fail and fear to meet new people and to become
serious in a relationship. Despite their biggest efforts, Mariana and Martin
always end up alone and as the movie moves forward the audience is led to believe
that both of them will be perfect for each other once they meet.
The lives of both Marina and Martin give an important
twist from the moment they decide to construct a window on the sidewall of the building.
By the end of the movie not only do they meet but also show themselves very happy
with each other leading the audience to believe they will be a lively and long lasting couple.
From my point of view it is no coincidence that they meet after having built a
window since it can be interpreted as a metaphor for opening up to people and
to allow great thing to enter your life and not close yourself to those
opportunities.
