What are three years in the life of a river, on its coast, in a corner of South America? The seasons follow one another; time speaks of a Río de la Plata that is always different. The air brings voices from the past and the present; we realize that we are also this river.

The Ceibo tree, which had played an essential role in Mayan culture, is the protagonist of Alejandro Mouján's short film from 2016, in which the director observes the passing of time, this transitory state that is so precious, and yet goes almost unnoticed. The Ceibo tree, a beautiful natural creation, becomes a symbol, a mirror of ourselves.

The year is 1896. In the dense jungle of Paraguay a three years old Ache girl survives a slaughter perpetrated by white settlers. The girl is named Damiana by her captors. Anthropologists from the La Plata Museum of Natural Sciences in Argentina take her as an object of scientific interest in the context of their racial studies. Later she is handed over to a family where she grows up as a maid. In 1907, at the age of 14, she is committed to a mental institution. There she is photographed naked just two months before her death from tuberculosis. Once dead her body is studied in La Plata and in Berlin. One hundred years later, an anthropology student identifies part of her remains in the La Plata museum. Her head is found soon after at Charite Hospital in Berlin.

El documental narra la situación actual de la minería en Argentina, donde el director traza un paralelismo entre la colonización española en América y el saqueo del oro, y las grandes mineras de hoy en día como la Barrick Gold, enfocándose en el daño medioambiental producto de la megaminería, la corrupción, la opinión de los pobladores y proponiendo el uso de una minería sustentable.

Stories of protagonists of the clandestine struggle called Peronist resistance, between 1955 and 1965. First the bombings of the civilian population of Buenos Aires on June 16 and then the military coup of September 16, 1955, drive workers and people from the people to come out in defense of the Perón government. There the "abnormal, excessive, hallucinatory odyssey of the Resistance" was born, the clandestine struggle against a bloody dictatorship called the "Liberating Revolution" and renamed the "Fusiladora". Today, those same men and women with more than 70 years, remember their struggle, and still vindicate themselves as resistant.

Ensayo sobre los grandes recursos con que cuenta Argentina para afrontar su reconstrucción. Emotivos testimonios de técnicos, trabajadores y científicos ponen de manifiesto lo que hubiera podido hacerse y la terrible y dolorosa contradicción que supone que un país potencialmente muy rico y con un avanzado desarrollo científico, no haya podido evitar ni la miseria en la que vive gran parte de la población, ni la fuga de cerebros.

A partir de la instauración de la dictadura militar, el pueblo argentino tuvo que afrontar una de las peores crisis económicas y sociales vividas en un periodo de paz por un país potencialmente próspero. La exorbitante deuda nacional, el inhumano ultraliberalismo, la desenfrenada corrupción política y financiera y el expolio regular de los bienes públicos fueron las principales consecuencias. Y todo ello fue posible gracias al apoyo de las multinacionales occidentales y la complicidad de los organismos internacionales. La política de "tierra quemada", puesta en práctica por Carlos Menem, ha conducido al país a un abismo de hambre, miseria y enfermedad que casi equivale a un genocidio social.
