Andersen’s matchstick saleswoman who dies of cold on New Years Eve.
Bresson’s donkey from Al Hasar Baltazar who changes its owner time and time again with the tragic fate and finale of a workhorse.
The impossible reconciliation between a German soldier from the Red Army Faction and a delicate Argentine pianist who plays the piano without striking the keys.
The modernist composer Helmut Lachenmann, veteran of the vanguard wars of the XX century, trying to put together a demented opera with the orchestra of the Colon Theatre.
A transportation strike in Buenos Aires. Politicians trying to negotiate with the orchestra.
In the middle of this, Maria Villar and Walter Jakob inhabit this comedy trying to maintain their young daughter (Cleo Moguillansky) with nothing but the improbable salary that music provides them. They rehearse ideas for the staging of Lachenman’s opera where they work and complete the frieze of marginal figures to which this ode to resistance is dedicated.

Garbiñe Ortega, the artistic director of Punto de Vista, devised the creation of a collective audiovisual project called Las cartas que no fueron también son in which several filmmakers will make a filmed letter addressed to another filmmaker in the history of cinema that they did not know personally and who was as far away as possible from their own cinema. For Alejo Moguillansky’s submission to this series he created a letter to the iconic Italian filmmaker, Michelangelo Antonioni.
