Loosely based on Iair Said’s real-life experiences when his own father died, 
MOST PEOPLE DIE ON SUNDAYS is the story David (Iair Said), a young middle-class Jewish man–corpulent, homosexual and afraid of flying–returns to Buenos Aires 
from Europe for the funeral of his uncle. On his return, David learns that his mother has decided to disconnect his father’s respirator, the only thing that has kept him alive for years. David will oscillate between living in close quarters with his mother, alienated by the pain of the imminent loss of her husband, and a voracity to fill his existential anguish, occupying his hours learning to drive, seeking low-cost medical treatments, and trying to have sex with any man who shows him a 
little attention. Circumstances do little to help David mature until he is finally forced to face his father’s mortality head-on and begin thinking about the future in concrete terms. Deftly wielding both pathos and humor, writer / director Iair Said starts from the question: What is the price that those of us who are 
left have to pay when a loved one dies? In addition to writing and directing, Iair Said also stars as David. He joins us to talk about the insiration for the film and how he went about assembling a stellar cast that includes; legendary Latin American stage and screen actor Rita Cortese (“Wild Tales,” “Herencia”), famous Argentine singer Juliana Gattas and Pablo Larrain favorite Antonia Zegers (“The Club,” The Punishment”).

“A marvel, chaotic, sweet and sour, emotional and purely detailed…” – Spanglish Cinema
“It’s a slight but fast-moving mixture of reality, regret and the absurdity of life: it is unexpectedly moving and funny at the same time.” – Alexa Dalby, Dog and Wolf
“But this work by Said, as sensitive as it is intimate, focuses on overcoming conflicts and accepting identity, individually and collectively, with infinite tenderness.” – Pablo De Vita, La Nación
“Brings this somewhat mournful portrait to a quietly moving grace note suggesting the silver lining of loss is a motivational reminder to the living.” – Ioncinema
“A tender tribute to the misfits, to those who, from their peripheral and marginal position, see the world better than the winners.”– Troiscouleurs
