Una actriz se pregunta si puede interpretar a Victoria Ocampo, la gran mecenas de la cultura argentina. Un actor se identifica a niveles ridículos con Benjamin Fondane, un poeta rumano que filmó en Argentina una película vanguardista, perdida para siempre. Una directora se esfuerza con terquedad por filmar documentos ilegibles, lugares olvidados, diálogos incomprensibles. De la amistad entre Victoria y Fondane quedan apenas los restos: cartas, fotogramas, sueños inconclusos. Nos sumergimos en una búsqueda absurda en los bordes de lo que pudo haber sido, cuando lo que fue casi nadie lo recuerda.

Writer
Argentina, década del 70. Una mañana cualquiera, varios jóvenes armados, vestidos con uniforme militar, secuestran a un general de la nación y lo esconden en una modesta casa de campo en las afueras de Buenos Aires. Allí, sin que el rehén entienda el motivo de su encierro ni adivine quiénes lo han planeado, los jóvenes secuestradores lo someten a un juicio sumario.
El director Hugo Santiago regresa a las principales locaciones de su primer largometraje Invasión (1969) en Buenos Aires, mientras discute múltiples aspectos de la producción en el camino.
Script
Argentine helmer Rafael Filipelli's understated and deliberate, slice-of-life drama Night Music (AKA Musica Nocturna, 2007) unfurls over the course of four evenings, with its depiction of an emotionally-strained marriage between husband and wife Federico (Enrique Pineyro) and Cecilia (Silvia Arazi), which Filipelli sets against the backdrop of semi-vacant, nocturnal Buenos Aires. He is a music critic pushing 50 and grappling with the completion of his first book; she is a playwright, in rehearsals for a major new production. Both have hit an emotional lull in their marriage that inspires each to coolly flirt with infidelity. As Federico flirts dangerously with the theatrical director's assistant, Cecilia reconnects at length with a past acquaintance, belletrist Sergio (Horacio Acosta), who may or may not have been amorously involved with Cecilia at one time.
