Argentine filmmaker Pablo Trapero directs this gritty, understated film about a man trying to start his life anew. Rulo (Luis Margani) was a moderately successful musician in the 1970s, but now he works as a crane operator and lives with his son, who is also musically inclined. As he is dating a woman who runs a sandwich shop, he discovers that making a fresh start proves to be harder than he first thought. Mundo Grua was screened at the 1999 Venice Film Festival.
