A movie-theater employee adjusts to a new life as the cinema he's worked at for over 25 years faces closure.

Rafael Bregman está en pleno proceso de desarrollo físico, es un poco tímido y contrariamente a la mayoría de sus compañeros, tiene acné. Rafael se prepara para el ritual judío de pasaje a la adultez, la Bar Mitzvá. Este cortometraje retrata con ternura y humor cómo Rafael vive este proceso de crecimiento, en donde el entorno social juega un importante rol que contribuye a que el personaje asuma su "adultez" a la par que la pérdida de la inocencia.

This is the story of Luis Batlle Berres, an outstanding political figure, told against the background of life in Uruguay from 1900 to the 1960s. With archive images and music from the period, this documentary pays homage to those years and to a time gone by. There is testimony from Batlle's personal hairdresser, his master of arms, his children and travelling companions in politics, and his adversaries. We witness his meeting with General Juan Domingo Perón, and we see the Graf Zeppelin with its swastika in the sky above Montevideo.
