Antonio wanders the streets of Buenos Aires in search of money and sex. The magnetism he exerts on the people who cross his path allows him to steal and cheat them. Only his mother, with whom he has a confictual relationship, will get over his feeling of impunity and will push him to leave for a trip to the south of Argentina.
Because podcasts have a limit, a person who loves his mother + his father would want to make ice or steel or else have a cemetery so that his mother does not suffer for anyone.
A woman who will die soon tells her three children that she wants to do so with as little intervention as possible. They don't know how much of that desire they will be able to fulfill. Accompanying her in her decision makes them confront the way in which our civilization conceives death. Taking charge of preparing this farewell while their mother is still alive will be a mysterious and revealing way to be together.
It is no coincidence that the second feature by Argentinian Melisa Liebenthal begins with a quote from “Duino Elegies” by Rilke, who was concerned with existential angst. And, more prosaically, Marina, the film’s young protagonist, is faced with similar anxiety. In fact, her problem is her face. One morning, she discovers her face has changed, and she can no longer recognise herself. Not even her mother can, who bumps into her on the street and says hello to her like she would to any stranger (deadpan, surreal humor is part of the film’s recipe). Marina is thus forced to confront her identity: who is she? Is she determined by her parent’s DNA or by her ID card? Can she be identified by a family portrait, by biometrics or the love of those around her, including her Colombian boyfriend? Is she prettier now?
Ana Livia Plurabelle (30) has different sexual encounters that will make her realize something she hasn't thought about before: the possibility of making money with her body.
