This Argentinean indie is a concise comedy of modern urban life set in Buenos Aires. Hapless taxi driver Alejandro bumps into the musician brother of an old school friend. Soon he's moved into the flat of a porn actor, is dating an air stewardess, and is handing over his meagre savings to a dubious investment scheme, involving the importation of one-size-fits-all gloves from China. "Unfolding with the droll, gentle humor of Aki Kaurismaki's tragicomic fables fused with the situational absurdity of a subdued Pedro Almodovar, The Magic Gloves is a lighthearted, gentle, and unassuming human comedy on the mundane rituals of everyday life."
