Description: The rhythmic precision of a museum’s daily routine shatters when love enters the meticulously ordered world of Goyo (2024), Marcos Carnevale's poignant exploration of autism and the overwhelming force of affection. Nicolás Furtado delivers a breathtaking performance as Goyo, a young man whose structured existence is beautifully rendered, contrasting sharply with the emotional chaos that ensues. Supported by a stellar cast including Nancy Dupláa, Soledad Villamil, Pablo Rago, and Cecilia Roth, the film transcends the typical portrayal of autism, focusing instead on the universal yearning for connection. Carnevale masterfully avoids sentimentality, opting for a subtle yet deeply affecting portrayal of Goyo's internal struggles and his tentative steps towards embracing vulnerability. The film's quiet power lies in its delicate balance between the rigid structure of Goyo's world and the unpredictable, exhilarating nature of love, leaving a lasting impression long after the credits roll.
