Los Vecinos en Guerra

In an intimate and geographical journey, the director tells in the first person the story of his grandfather Ludovico, an Italian who arrived in Argentina after fighting in World War II and who soon reveals himself disturbingly contradictory. His traces still mark his descendants today, and unraveling his history becomes crucial to assimilate the present. In search of his secrets, the director must go into the desert, face the silences of his own history, redefine his identity and rebuild family ties that have been broken for years.

Portrait of Leónidas Barletta, founder of Teatro del Pueblo, the first independent theatre in Latin America. This film on the controversial theatre director and left wing journalist is constructed from the letters and books Leónidas sent to his young sister María Angélica, godmother of director Miguel Colombo, who decides to leave her brother's legacy in the hands of her godson before she dies.

A recurring nightmare immerses the filmmaker into a visual research in the first person. Beginning with the 1955 bombing of Buenos Aires, the film elaborates a disturbing essay about violence. Combining a variety of different materials the director follows a line of thought that starts with his grandparents at World Wars I and II, and passes through Vietnam and the atomic weapons, reflecting about the kind of world we make for ourselves and for coming generations.
