Collective film made from digitalized footage from the collection of Argentinian nitrate films of the Museo del Cine Pablo Ducrós Hicken, made on the occasion of its anniversary.
Otto Meiling is the German alpinist who manufactured the first skis and contributed to establish the biggest ski resort of Latin America in Patagonia, Argentina at the beginning of the 20th century. Carlos Echeverría is a film director that started a documentary about him but did not finish it for dark reasons. Esperanza is the current under-20 national ski champion and during her training she meets Miguel, a ski lift operator. Through Miguel’s eyes, we discover the world of the people who work there so others can practice the sport of skiing. Most of the workers are Mapuche descendants and have never skied. The relationship between these characters shows the hidden universe of labour relations that are generated during the ski peak season.

A mystical place, an enchanted story: A group of knights, imported directly from the Middle Ages, go ashore on the banks of the Río de la Plata. They are searching for a grave where they wish to perform a ritual. As they pass through the jungle, things happen that cause them to land in the present day. They have sex, find a car, enjoy a sunset with beers in their hands. Then an announcement comes over the radio that makes everything appear in a different light, and there’s no going back.
