Ana Katz's Spanish-language character drama A Wandering Bride (AKA Una Novia Errante, 2007) opens with paramours Ines (Katz) and German (Carlos Portaluppi) entangled in a heated and unpleasant altercation on a bus, en route a romantic vacation at the resort 'Mar de las Pampas.' Impetuously, Ines climbs off the bus at a stop. As it roars away, however, she turns to discover that German is not behind her. Lonely, nervous about the future of their relationship, and suffering from a swollen belly, Ines wanders through the woods, meets a few kind strangers, and learns archery. She then begins a series of increasingly desperate phone calls to German, alternately praising his virtues and branding him a silly coward. With no other option in sight, Ines eventually decides to visit the resort herself, throw her cares aside, and enjoy the vacation independently of German.
