Protón Cine

A working-class family in Buenos Aires runs an underground sports betting operation, which becomes matriarchal after the father's death.

Two actors are holed up in a remote house somewhere on the Argentinian coastline. The characters crosses the space-time threshold: Leon Trotsky, in his Mexican exile, asks André Breton to write the first draft of a revolutionary manifesto.

Haunted by the tragic death of his father, Juan Martín Hsu, a young Argentinian filmmaker of Taiwanese origin, returns to Taipei to film the reunion with his mother. Reality and fiction blend in a moving personal quest in which an incredible portrait of a Mother Courage stands out from the picture of a family saga marked by uprooting.

Back in the ‘90s, the wife of a Menemist politician recorded her husband’s public and private life on video. In this rigid, patriarchal family’s present day, Agustina and her aunt Bibiana build a story based on mystique and disenchantment, with tensions and silences that oscillate between love and power.
