Madraza won the Best Feature Film Award in Sitges Film Festival 2017 Blood Window and won the Best Feature Film Award "Panambí de oro" at the Paraguay International Film Festival 2017. Madraza is a genre film that, using suspense, action and comedy, wanders through the many difficulties that citizens of Buenos Aires must endure. The film's tone tends to satirize the current social perspective of Argentina and the limits of morale and insanity. The film was released theatrically by Buena Vista International on 25 May 2017, something rare for an independent Argentine film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
