Profile of Cleopatra

The mood of Cleopatra is touching, bittersweet, and emotional. The plot centers around a family business, the golden years, and a midlife crisis. It is a drama, foreign, and comedy movie. Stylistically, Cleopatra has a road movie structure and stars a strong female character. In approach, it is realistic. It happens in contemporary times.

Summary of Cleopatra

A raucous road movie that reads like a South American THELMA AND LOUISE, CLEOPATRA scored six nominations at the 2004 Silver Condor Awards, Argentina's equivalent of the Oscars. Prominent Argentine actress Norma Aleandro stars as the title character, a retired schoolteacher who becomes restless after her children have left home; her husband Roberto (Hector Alterio) is an alcoholic from whom she is estranged, and she is unsatisfied with her life and her inability to make ends meet. Cleopatra decides to pursue her lifelong wish to be an actor, and in the process meets Sandra, a soap star whose dissatisfaction mirrors her own. They decide to go on a weekend getaway together, and the adventure they share is one that nobody is likely to soon forget; they encounter love, heartbreak, and a string of unforeseeable events that are sure to keep audiences on their toes!
