Inspired by Norman McLaren's direct animation techniques on celluloid, the short film constructs an abstract narrative using fragments of films found in the trash.
Based on a letter from activist Lili Massaferro to an American friend, narrated in voice-over, and using archival material from various Argentine media outlets, the film recounts Lili’s personal story and her political commitment, intertwined with Argentina’s own history: Peronism and the figure of Evita, the death of her son Manolo, and the Peronist feminist movement of the 1970s.
A farce built on the supposed discovery of the last reel of a film long lost.
Documentary that captures the testimony of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, whose children were detained and disappeared during Argentina’s last military dictatorship (1976–1983).
