‘So Far So Good’ is the much-anticipated new dramedy—insightful as it is moving—from acclaimed Argentine filmmaker Daniel Burman, a three-time International Emmy nominee (Victoria Small, Yosi, the Regretful Spy). This Flow original, co-produced with Cimarrón and Oficina Burman (THE MEDIAPRO STUDIO), stars Benjamín Vicuña (Vis a Vis), Rita Cortese (Wild Tales), Violeta Urtizberea (Envious), and Jorge Bolani (Whisky). Production spans multiple locations in Uruguay and Paraguay.
‘So Far So Good’, Burman offers a sharp yet tender look at the crisis of midlife. The story follows Ariel (Vicuña), a successful comic-book artist trapped in the very life he created: the demands of five children, the constant needs of aging parents, and a suffocating social calendar. When his doctor forbids him from lifting more than three kilos because of a hernia, that seemingly trivial restriction becomes the starting point for a comic, revealing journey: what is it that truly weighs us down in life?
The series consists of eight 30-minute episodes, created and written by Daniel Burman alongside a team that includes several of his long-standing collaborators: Ariel Gurevich (Transmitzvah), Andrés Gelós (Maledictions, Yosi, the Regretful Spy), Pablo Gelós (Maledictions), and Eloy Burman. Direction is shared between Daniel Burman himself and Uruguayan actor and director Daniel Hendler, who premiered A Loose End at the Venice Biennale and this year is presenting 27 Nights as the opening film of the San Sebastián International Film Festival.

The cast also features Hendler (Community Squad), with special appearances by Andrea Frigerio (The Distinguished Citizen), Alejandro Awada (Yosi, the Regretful Spy), and Marina Bellati (Viudas Negras).
"The night befor turning fifty I felt something new: as a though I were a man ready to fave a firing squad. Yet the next day life went on -with it, the weitght of multiple children, parents in endless decline, and the realization that dhis supposedly unique and magical moment is quickly consumed buy the generations above and below. I wonder: when is it my turn?", said Daniel Burman about the series. "Middle age doesn't bring certainty, only more weight: senile parents now dependent on us, childen who never seem to leave home yet expect guidance, while we ourselves are utterly lost. Out of this context comes So Far So Good - the story of Arie, a newly minted fifty-year-old navigation this stage of life with sharp, humor and a deeply human perspective. A story designed not only to connect with audiences experiencing the same stage, but also with older generations, who might look on their childen with a touch more compassion, and with younger ones, who still don't know what awaits them".

‘So Far So Good’ is scheduled to premiere on Flow in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, with international distribution rights handled by The Mediapro Studio Distribution.
