Medianeras = Sidewalls (2011)
The Kavanagh Building in Buenos Aires was a spite-fueled project by Corina Kavanagh to obstruct the sight line of an aristocratic family who had spurned her daughter. That's just one of the architectural observations made by Mariana (Pilar López de Ayala) and Martin (Javier Drolas), who both agree with that the architecture of a city reveals something about the soul of its people; so what does it say that both of these denizens of contemporary Buenos Aires are hyper-intellectual and hopelessly neurotic? They're also both young and attractive, making for a perfect romantic comedy couple but with the very real obstacle of the two people never actually meeting. Mariana studied architecture but works as a shop window dresser; Martin works as a Web designer. She has a phobia of elevators and obsesses over a Where's Waldo? puzzle; he has a meticulously prepared backpack, which includes a collection of Tati films, in case of panic attacks. They both live in cramped shoebox apartments on the same street, and the film is a chronicle of their near misses as they deal with their own separate romantic misfortunes.
