Hijas únicas – EN

The only children / Alba Gaviraghi

Sinopsis

A student revolution breaks out in the streets and reggaeton is playing loudly in the disco. In the middle of the dance floor, Antonia (15), the only daughter of a single mother, dances to stop thinking. The school trip to Bariloche, Argentina is approaching and Antonia does not know if she will be able to go to this initiatory rite of adolescence. First, she must find a father she doesn’t know to sign a permission to leave the country. Mariana (45), her close and loving mother, for the first time refuses to help her and Antonia begins the search on her own and in secret. The relationship between the two weakens; the high school is taken, her mother loses her job and the atmosphere at home becomes unbearable; only the parties and her pokemon friends keep Antonia afloat. After several unsuccessful attempts to find him, and thanks to the help of a half-sister Tamara (17) with whom she interestedly resumes contact, Antonia manages to find her father. With him comes the signature she longed for and also something she did not expect from this journey: the certainty that she is only her mother’s daughter and that identity goes beyond a haircut.

Sinopsis

A footbridge divides Argentina from Paraguay. Both Guarani and Spanish languages float in the air. People run around trafficking all things imaginable. In the midst of this dizzying pace, I met Angel when he was nine years old. The first time I heard him speak I was so moved that I promised we would meet again. A year later, I came back and we started making a movie together. After nine years, the passage from childhood to adolescence unfolds in these images surrounded by questions, absences and a unique strength to live and to resist against everything.

Una ciudad de provincia – EN

A Provincial City / Rodrigo Moreno

Sinopsis

A world is made of different things: people, houses, dogs, music, motorcycles, stores, nightlife, paperwork, trees. Like those photographers of the early twentieth century, we traveled to Colón, Entre Ríos, to document its present and thus build a unique and unrepeatable portrait. Two fishermen, teenagers playing truco, a discotheque, a few local bush players, a rural rugby team, lots of stray dogs, an afternoon at the town hall and two friends on motorcycles make up most of this story that, far from being anthropological, turns out to be anarchic and capricious.
