Argentinian Drama 'Roger on the Loose' Explores Neurodiversity and Independence

In September 2025, Argentina's Twins Latin Films has joined forces with local production company Año Cero, Spain's Fasten Films, and Mexico's Somos Maravillosa to co-produce the upcoming feature film 'Roger on the Loose.' The drama, directed by Natalia Smirnoff, is set to begin shooting next year in the forests and sierras of Córdoba, Argentina.

'Roger on the Loose' marks a new milestone in Smirnoff's career, known for her previous works 'Puzzle' and 'Lock Charmer.' The film follows the story of Roger, a 33-year-old neurodivergent man living with his sister, Margarita, in their family's guesthouse. Deeply fascinated by fungi and their ecological mysteries, Roger's carefully structured life begins to unravel with the arrival of curious tourists, particularly Lucy, who is drawn to the area in search of hallucinogenic mushrooms. As their connection deepens, long-buried desires surface, pushing Roger to confront his growing need for independence and the limits of his reliance on his sister.

The production team, led by Lorena Quevedo and Pablo Di Patrizio of Twins Latin Films, is excited to bring this project to life, combining Smirnoff's artistic vision with the urgent need to give voice to neurodiversity and environmental themes. The film's setting in Córdoba's natural landscapes and the involvement of local talent further enhance the project's appeal.
