Every Document of Civilization

An intersection of avenues that is, at the same time, the border between the city of Buenos Aires and its suburbs. Every night, thousands of people cross it on their way home from work. Buses, traffic lights, asphalt, concrete, a rusty sign. Someone going to school, someone selling bread. Streetlights and election propaganda. Advertisements for cell phones and hamburgers. Garbage and a lady selling flowers. The story of a mother who lost her son to the police confronts the image of normality. Her struggle and her voice draw on Jules Verne’s imaginary worlds, which they fantasized together. This movie is a process of excavation. Or the dissection of the landscape where, fifteen years ago, the State made Luciano Arruga disappear.
