Kino Lorber is proud to announce the acquisition (from FilmSharks) of all rights to the latest film by Argentinian director Daniel Burman The Tenth Man (El rey del Once), after its world premiere as the opening film in the Panorama section of this year’s Berlinale.

Starring Alan Sabbagh (Focus) and Julieta Zylberberg (Wild Tales), the film will have its US premiere at the upcoming Tribeca Film Festival, running from April 13 to April 24.
 
The deal was negotiated between Kino Lorber CEO Richard Lorber and FilmSharks International’s Guido Rud. Kino Lorber is planning a fall theatrical release, after key film festival playdates. (Following strong reviews from the Berlin premiere, the company has received a record number of requests from Jewish and other high profile major American festivals.)
 
The Tenth Man tells the story of Ariel, a man who returns to his childhood neighborhood in Buenos Aires, a Jewish district named Once, after a long stay in New York City. In the process of trying to meet his father Usher, and getting entangled in his charitable commitments, Ariel also reconnects with his own Jewish roots. 
 
“After years away, Ariel returns to Buenos Aires seeking to reconnect with his father who has founded a charity foundation in Once, the city’s Jewish district where Ariel spent his youth. But Usher appears to be staving off a meeting with his son; instead he keeps roping him into a number of small assignments during the course of which Ariel meets Eva who volunteers for Usher’s charity. Like Ariel, she too feels estranged from her father, and no longer speaks.

Together they look back at the past in order to shape the present. Eva’s radiant inner strength and independent spirit inspires Ariel to come to grips with the religious customs of his Jewish community as well as the traditions that once divided him and his father and rethink his own identity.

After El abrazo partido (in Competition in 2004) und Derecho de familia (in Panorama in 2006), Daniel Burman once more explores the interplay of forces within a father-son relationship. Tenderly, and with a lightness of touch, he has Ariel let go of his old expectations and allow himself to be drawn into the centre of a vibrant and fascinating community.” (Berlin Film Festival)
 
“We fell in love with Daniel Burman's warm, funny, crowd-pleasing The Tenth Man at Berlinale,” commented Kino Lorber CEO Richard Lorber. “The Tenth Man's bustling Buenos Aires Jewish community is a rich frame filled with delectable details as one man pursues a return to his roots—a sweetly poignant universal tale.”
