ValentĂ­n

ValentĂ­n is a 2002 Argentine-French-Italian drama film written and directed by Alejandro Agresti. The film features Rodrigo Noya as ValentĂ­n and Carmen Maura as the grandmother. Director Alejandro Agresti also stars as ValentĂ­n's father.

The story revolves around the world of an eight-year-old boy, ValentĂ­n (Noya), who dreams of one day becoming an astronaut. While caught in the middle of his family, he attempts to better the bewildering world around him.

Plot

The story takes place in 1969 and is told through the eyes of ValentĂ­n, an eight-year-old small cross-eyed boy (Noya) whose thick black-rimmed glasses sit heavily on his face. He lives with his grandmother (Maura) due to the divorce of his parents. He dreams of being an astronaut one day and intently follows the on-going space race between the U.S.A. and the Soviet Union. He no longer sees his Jewish mother, who was chased out of the family home by his imperious, dictator-like father (Agresti). He misses her badly but hardly remembers her. His anti-Semitic father only occasionally visits to his mother and son, preferring to live the life of an Argentine playboy.

Despite its name Roter Veltliner is not related to GrĂŒner Veltliner. It was previously believed that Roter Veltliner could be a grandparent to GrĂŒner Veltliner, but that hypothesis seems to have lost credibility with later studies.
