The
village of
Escobar,
forty kilometres from the Federal Capital,
celebrates the Fiesta Nacional de
la
Flor as it has for the last
forty years.Each
year a different
flower is invented and put up as a symbol of the
creativity of the flower growers of the area. In
the 1990s, through one of the worst governments
thatArgentina has
had, an exoppressor arrives in the City
Hall of Escobar.
The flowers are a metaphor of a country which is
debating whether to follow memory or
oblivion.

forced work he carries out under inhuman
conditions is the starting point for us to get
to know his life, his friends and his complex
surroundings.This is a
community which, submerged in misery, is
fighting for subsistence, and where suffering
among adults is often transformed into blows and
abuse of children.

The
village at the end of the world is there
such thing? Somewhere at the end of the world?
We
are making a journey to the South Pole, toAntarctica. We
discover that there are not only research
stations and penguins, but that there is an
actual village. A little
settlement in the middle of the ice. Villa las
estrellas, the village of stars with 48
inhabitants. What is it that makes it a
village?A few houses, a bank, a grocery store and
a school.
Love

steady relationships with inmates. Most of them
met their hus- band thru mail, newspaper ads or
radio programs.
A
documentary about roots in a territory,
Wirikuta,a barren
desert area where only peyote cactus grows. With
a costumbrist view, the
documentary brings us closer to the life of
three characters who live in a small isolated
community and who are trapped in Wirikuta.Through
their motivations and consequences, we
understand what holds them there and we take in
a particular view of the place.This is
an allegory of the land, a search for harmony
between the human being and the world around
him.
