The River Train

The River Train (Spanish: El tren fluvial ) is a 2026 Argentine coming-of-agedrama film directed by Lorenzo Ferro and Lucas A. Vignale. The film stars Milo Barría, alongside Rita Pauls, Mariano Barría, Fabián Casas, and Lucrecia Pazos. It follows a nine-year-old boy living in a rural Argentine village who dreams of escaping to the city of Buenos Aires by train.

The film had its world premiere at the 76th Berlin International Film Festival on 16 February 2026, where it screened in the Perspectives section, a program dedicated to debut feature films. It was produced by Tomás Grandio, Valentine Torre, and Casiana Vera for the Argentine production company Cinco Rayos. The film was later screened in the United States at New Directors/New Films Festival on 13 April 2026.

This would turn out to be Vignale's only feature film, as he died in a helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 14 June 2026.
