Line 27 ⟶ 30:

The film begins as Marcia (Tatiana Saphir), a frumpy and overweight salesgirl who seems to lead a banal and dreary existence, goes to work one day. As she walks she catches the eye of a feisty butch punk woman named Mao (Carla Crespo) who tells Marcia she wants to seduce her. Marcia tells Mao that she's not a lesbian, but Mao is relentless. With the help of her friend Lenin (Veronica Hassan), Mao manages to talk Marcia into getting into a cab that the two lesbian women then immediately car-jack.

They take Marcia to the coast to see the ocean—which she has never seen before—before ending up at Lenin's Aunt Blanca's ([[Beatriz Thibaudin]]) house. Lenin has not seen Aunt Blanca for nine years, and they discover Blanca rents out rooms to two lodgers. Blanca proves fascinating to Lenin and the two begin redeveloping a connection. Lenin confesses that she has not spoken to her mother in three years.

When they are alone Mao makes love to Marcia, then leaves her alone. We learn that Marcia is quite lonely since her boyfriend recently dumped her. She feels abandoned by everyone.

==Critical reception==

Deborah Young, the film critic at ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' magazine, liked the film and wrote, "A delightfully unpredictable sleeper that proves new Argentine cinema really exists, ''Suddenly,'' by 26-year-old Diego Lerman, starts scary, moves through deadpan comic and comes out with a whimsical tenderness for its characters that audiences will share...[The film is] lensed in beautifully composed black-and-white by cinematographers Luciano Zito and Diego del Piano, [the] film looks like a realistic road movie topped by irony, with a melancholy air under its bravado. Cast is right on target, with Saphir, Crespo and Hassan all playing straight in different ways, yet all ultimately quite believable."<ref>[httphttps://www.variety.com/review/VE1117918415.html?categoryid=31&cs=1&p=0 Young, Deborah]. ''Variety,'' film review from the [[Locarno International Film Festival]], August 7, 2002. Last accessed: January 14, 2008.</ref>

Critic [[Elvis Mitchell]] like the direction Diego Lerman gave the film and wrote, "Mr. Lerman, an Argentine, gives this story a spareness and is at his best when there is little or no dialogue...The stoic volatility of the opening 10 minutes matures into another movie altogether, one in which a tenderness develops among the threesome as they understand one another. You find yourself rooting for Mr. Lerman to pull off this maneuver. When ''Suddenly'' finds its soul in the last half-hour, the title begins to make a lovely sort of sense."<ref>[httphttps://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E04EED71339F934A1575BC0A9659C8B63 Mictchell, Elvis].
