Dark Tales

Wild Tales is a dark comedy anthology film consisting of six standalone short stories, each centered around individuals who find themselves in highly stressful, absurd, or unjust situations. Set in contemporary Argentina, the film explores how ordinary people react when pushed to their emotional or moral breaking points. Whether it's a chance encounter on a plane, a roadside confrontation, a battle with bureaucracy, or a lavish wedding gone wrong, each tale examines the human impulse for revenge, resistance, or catharsis in the face of provocation. The characters vary in background and circumstance, but all experience a tipping point that drives them to take extreme -- and often unexpected -- actions. While the stories are not connected by plot or characters, they share a satirical tone and a thematic focus on the fragile boundary between civility and chaos. Wild Tales offers a provocative look at how thin the veneer of social order can be.
