Corazón bajo tierra / Maximiliano Schonfeld – EN

Heart deep down / Maximiliano Schonfeld

Sinopsis

Mélodi returns to her province with the assignment of writing her second book. The first one, about unsolved homicides in the area, was a bestseller and she is still looking for a reassembly after so much exposure. But with a little problem after that experience, her interest in murder cases ceased to make sense for her and since then, she has only been able to write a few poems, something that, as we all know, has no commercial value. But a case awakens her interest: two young men who disappeared some time ago without a trace in the zone of the Paraná islands. The boat they used to carry tourists was found sailing alone downriver with all their belongings intact and with no signs that anyone else had boarded the boat. The clues are erratic but different versions of the myth persist among the inhabitants of the coast. Some speak of a secret love story, and songs have even been composed about it. Others mention a legend that would explain, at least symbolically, the disappearance of chamamé singers that every now and then the river takes to the depths. There are also versions that link it to extraterrestrial abductions, due to the great influence that this type of phenomena has in the area. Others say that they are alive in the woods, although they do not explain why. Mélodi is intuitively guided throughout her investigation by signs, especially musical ones, together with Joaquín, a young taxi driver with a passion for cars and speed.

¡Caigan las rosas blancas! – EN

White Roses fall! / Albertina Carri

Sinopsis

Violeta is a young film director who once made an amateur lesbian porn film with a group of friends. Following the success of that project, she is now hired to direct a mainstream porn film. However, her ideas about gender systems—both cinematic and sexual—prevent her from completing the shoot, and she flees. From the southern city of Buenos Aires, she sets off with her actresses toward the warmth of São Paulo, encountering new narrative forms along the way. The group of travelers evolves with the changing landscapes and their shifting moods until the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by dense jungle, overwhelms all worldly extravagance. They are welcomed by a voluptuous, uncharted territory. Cinema becomes a relic of another time, and life itself the only discovery.

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.
