Águas Selvagens
Director
Quando o investigador Lúcio Gualtieri (Roberto Birindelli) aceita um trabalho para solucionar um crime cometido na fronteira entre Brasil, Argentina e Paraguai, ele se vê perseguido por uma organização criminosa envolvida em uma trama macabra de assassinatos. Ao descobrir uma verdade obscura que coloca em prova todas as suas crenças, o ex-policial precisará enfrentar seu passado conturbado, enquanto tenta sobreviver aos perigos dessa zona de águas selvagens.
Agua dos porcos
Director
Gualtieri is an apathetic ex-cop, fighting himself, almost nothing excites him. That is why he accepts an easy job in the jungle of the triple border. Investigating how and why a person was killed becomes the key to revealing other truths that should be buried under the wet red soil of the place.
Coffee for All

How silly are to grow up
Director
Marcos (Gustavo Garzon), an existentially bored university lecturer, gets a grant to return to his birthplace to carry out biochemical research. There he meets old buddy Raul (Leo Masliah), who is now a priest. The story opens out to bring in their schooldays 20 years earlier, during Argentina’s politically active ’70s, when Raul was going out with Tamara (Victoria de Elizalde), who now lives in Paris with husband Paul (Ginger Poujoulet). The mature Tamara (Laura Melillo) returns to be with her sick mother, and Marcos unwittingly stumbles across some high-level politico-economic corruption on the part of the lab’s owners, led by Dr. Castembacher (Jean Pierre Reguerraz). In a piece in which perfs win out over plot, Garzon is satisfyingly nuanced as the disillusioned Marcos. Technically, pic’s restricted budget makes itself felt.
Gombrowicz or seduction (Represented by his disciples)
Editor
Gombrowicz or seduction rebuilds, from the margins of the official film, the figure of Witold Gombrowicz. Peripheral par excellence, at the end of the 30's the renowned author of Ferdydurke and transatlantic came to stop the Argentina and stayed here for thirty years. Inevitably fragmentary, given the personality on the run of the own Gombrowicz (and the own Fischerman, In short)
