“AL” stands for Alba and Alfredo, “E” for Ernesto and “LI” for Lilian. The initials of everyone conform the sign that hangs at the entrance of the family beach house: “ALELÍ.” Of everyone except Silvana, who was born late. The imminent sale of the house and the mourning for the patriarch’s death face a dysfunctional family that seems willing to set everything on fire.

Declaration

film director

“Alelí is a farcical comedy about family. In the Mazzotti’s world, where reality is slightly distorted and enlarged, human reactions are as blown out of proportion as our characters. […] When a family is on the rocks, when the threads that keep it together become so thin that they are almost non-existent, what rescues it? Alelí laughs at the tragic, at the fear of death, of growing old, of changing. […] After all, you don’t get to choose your relatives any more than they get to choose you.”
