Quote:
A fugitive, a fetishist and a detective walk through a mansion built in the 19th century on the banks of the River Plate. Within its walls, there are resonances, portraits of illustrious or unknown people, books, souvenirs, furniture from different periods and styles. At the heart of this secret order is a woman who has been portrayed throughout her life by painters of the Belle Epoque, by neoclassical sculptors, by avant-garde photographers. To reconstruct the history of these women, each of the visitors will create a fable, in which the essential names of the 20th century culture are intertwined. Among the visitor to Victoria Ocampo’s mansion we can mention the architect Le Coubusier, the composer Igor Stravinsky, the writers Graham Greene, Aldous Huxley, Waldo Frank, Albert Camus… You will also hear the whisper of two young writers cementing what will be a bond that will last for decades: Adolfo Bioy Casares and Jorge Luis Borges…

Quote:
“Lifeguards, luxury hotels from early XXth Century, mermaids, sea animals and sand castles gather in this labyrinthine essay. A “documentary” about balnearios, Argentine bath resorts and the idea of cities dedicated exclusively to idleness, empty along the winter months and crowded in the summer.”

Quote:
A trip through the picturesque spas of the Argentine coast is what this documentary proposes. Sites that have remained the same over the years, that only really live in summer seasons. It is a fun look at the customs and the particular inhabitants of these sites, a universe alien to the outside world. After seeing stories like a town with half its streets under water, or a majestic hotel with a sordid past, one is left with the desire to see more, but it is quite entertaining. Presented with affection, it is like a longing for these spas that subsist despite the fact that the rest of the world left them behind and as if to reinforce this, it seems filmed at least 20 years ago and narrated by someone who at times seems to be emulating Neruda’s poems.
