Rubén is a lonely truck driver who has been taking the motorway from Asunción, Paraguay to Buenos Aires, Argentina for years, carrying wood. However, today's journey is different because of Jacinta, who accompanies him as his passenger all the way to Buenos Aires. What's more, Rubén finds out at the very moment that her little Anahí, who's 8 months old, travels with them. As kilometres go by, the relationship between Rubén and Jacinta will grow.

Leave your thoughts about Las acacias.
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaUm filme sensível, tocante e admirável. |
| Film Journal InternationalFrank LoveceThe filmmakers have managed the near-miraculous feat of creating two characters who aren't larger-than-life or quirky or anything other than what you and I might be in their place. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchVirtually nothing is said in the first half hour and little in the next 50 minutes. There are no interesting encounters, the scenery is unremarkable. |
| CineVueJoseph WalshLas Acacias speaks quietly but powerfully, the perfect argument for the universal language of cinema. |
| Little White LiesOrla CunnaneFantastic performances that stay with you and a director who isn't afraid to let you think for yourself. |

| User ReviewMike BA human story unfolds in the cab as old as the acacia trees being hauled. At the end of this film I felt like I'd just watched a classic. Superb. |
| User ReviewCristobal HWonderfull! One of the best movies of 2011 |
| User ReviewSimone HGanador del Camà (C)ra d'Or en Cannes 2011. Bellamente humano y natural. |
| User ReviewCarlos MThis movie definitely should've been an Oscar-Winning Contender. Yes there's barely any speaking in the movie but actions show more than words especially in cases like these. It's a nice ride and prefer it to many hispanics family across the world. |
