Actress Martina Gusmán on the set of the film 'Leonera'. Gusmán is also a prominent Argentine film producer. The film was directed by Pablo Trapero, a leading exponent of 'nuevo cine argentino', which arose in the 1990s. The movement is known for films portraying ordinary people in everyday situations, in a realistic quasi-documentary style, usually with an element of social criticism.
