The Guatemalan Handshake

2006 · 98 min · ★ 5.3 · Drama, Comedy

A mysterious power failure in a small mountain town coincides with the disappearance of one of its most eccentric young residents. Mystery piles upon mystery as his family and friends search for him, fail, and ultimately try to forget about him, an undertaking that results in many unexpected, and in some cases bizarre, effects on the town's already peculiar community.

A weirdly touching parable of human obsolescence... a strange funny, very smart film," or so said Andy Markowitz of the Baltimore City Paper (which also named it "Film of the Year" in 2002). This film features many cast members who would later be seen in THE GUATEMALAN HANDSHAKE and a portion of its breakdancing scene appears in David Gordon Green's film SNOW ANGELS.
