A Loose End (Un cabo suelto)

Directed by Daniel Hendler
Uruguay, Argentina, Spain
2025
95 mins

In Río de la Plata, the word "cabo" can mean a low-ranking law enforcement officer as well as a loose end. Runaway Argentine cop Santiago may prove to be both as he attempts to vanish in Uruguay, trading his former life for charming, high-stakes misadventures and a shot at love. Along the way, he’ll strip away his badge to find his soul. 

From acclaimed director Daniel Hendler, A Loose End (Un cabo suelto) is an offbeat comedy that fuses elements of road movie, rom-com, and thriller with cinematic motifs. This border-crossing romp proves that reinventing your life is a lot harder than would seem, and is a witty, destiny-altering hunt for a second chance. An official selection at the Venice and San Sebastián film festivals.
