Los arcontes

Directed by

Agustina Pérez Rial, Natalia Labaké

Overview

A group of Slavic immigrants is chased in Mar del Plata by the Buenos Aires Police’s intelligence services during the International Film Festival. The city hides the memory of the cultural vigilance that took place during the sixties. The archives, secret and confidential, are read by unrehearsed guardians of their declassification.

How it feels

Tense, eerie, melancholic and earnest. Measured and demanding.

About

Content
