Em 1997 o diretor argentino Fernando Birri retorna ao seu país para rodar um documentário sobre o 30º aniversário da morte de Che Guevara e a importância das utopias naquele tempo. Esse foi o início da aventura cinematográfica que levou o diretor desde La Higuera até Montevideo, passando por Buenos Aires, em um diálogo com artistas e pensadores contemporâneos latino-americanos. Carmen Guarini decidiu registrar esses momentos. Esse material bruto ficou escondido por 20 anos em uma frágil VHS. As imagens foram resgatadas e lançaram luz sobre a importância desse poeta e mestre latino-americano, falecido aos 92 anos em dezembro de 2017.

The story of this film begins at the moment when the artist and his work become independent forever. Gorriarena dies and his work begins an existence where the author is not there to explain it, replace it or modify it. The mounting of an exhibition is the excuse to explore both material and ideological decisions that coexist in the work of an artist. The film explores some of these decisions and their results, trying to show which gestures of love, trust, order, admiration or greed it arouses, and in the process tries to find the painter's way and perhaps, only perhaps, to get closer to his truth. A truth that is expressed through colour, critical and biting realism, ironic denunciation and energetic resistance to being "accused" of being a political and social painter.
This film is the story of tracking a filming from which its director is interrogated by the crosses between the cinema, reality, ghosts and death. Edgardo Cozarinsky Films in Buenos Aires at night, the story of a taxi-boy who faces the death embodied in former lovers. Guarini discovers the scenes and the daily life of this filming. Her rejection of the "making off" format, leads her to doubt the way forward.
Argentinean singer and tango legend Ada Falcón disappeared without a trace in 1942 at the height of her career. This is the story of how she was located sixty years later, living in an unexpected way, in an unexpected place.
In December 1977, two French nuns, Alice Domon and Léonie Duquet, were kidnapped in Buenos Aires by a squad of commandos from the Argentinean Navy. They were held and tortured at the ESMA - the School of Naval Engineering and were never seen again. Moving tale based on letters Alice Domon sent to her family and friends back home as well as on the testimony of many friends in Argentina who remember her humanity and courage. She shared the lives of those in need, helped heeling their sick and bringing in their crops. And she raised their political awareness - which brought her to the attention of the regime. A film retracing recent history that is by no means in the past.
