Lucía Torres Minoldo

A divorced taxi driver shows up with a black eye at the home of his ex-wife’s new family; he’s been invited to dinner and he desperately wants to reconnect with his young daughter. A professional magician’s car breaks down and he ends up spending an emotionally intense night with a young, widowed toll booth worker. A singer songwriter serving a lengthy prison sentence is released for one night to perform at a local community centre. These three deeply engaging stories about yearning for connection unfold in parallel, one New Year’s Eve in a small town in central Uruguay, balancing the universality of human suffering with a powerful sense of hope.

Córdoba, Argentina, 1974. The "Navarrazo" (Argentine Revolution) took place in the capital of Córdoba: Police Chief Antonio Navarro seized the Government House and deposed Governor Obregón Cano. A year later, in May 1975, under the intervention of Brigadier Raúl Lacabanne, 26 political prisoners belonging to different revolutionary organizations escaped from the "Buen Pastor" women's prison (now a shopping mall). This escape marked one of the many milestones of the turbulent Córdoba of the 1970s. The women (who had been tortured in prison) thus regained their freedom and returned to the struggle, although nine of them were disappeared by the military dictatorship. The documentary features testimonies from ten of those women.

A body as a territory of memory that at the same time is many bodies, past and present. Lines, images and lineages cross us transversely.

A few days of summer on the river. A family that was still that. There are memories volatile, that come and go. The feeling that the rain is nearby, a woman with a red hat, the trees at the side of the road. Perhaps the images are like small houses where safeguard the memory. And leave it inside something, so it seems certain.
