    • Synopsis
    • A young couple is working on a documentary about the hunter-gatherer lifestyle of a Wichí
      community in the North of Argentina. She is an anthropology student and her boyfriend
      studies film. As they edit the footage, troubles arise regarding the conceptual framework and
      significance of the documentary. How should they portray this community for their urban
      audience? Should they cut out certain scenes, to satisfy their own aesthetic prejudice and
      symbolic interpretation of the depicted actions and situations? These issues come to light in
      a wide range of circumstances, from the most common clichés of intellectual correctness to
      humorous contradictions sprung from the methods of social analysis and meta-narratives of
      cinematographic devices. During these quarrels, both sides remain unable to escape their own
      contradictions, leading to conceptual loops or multiple possible answers. From their encounter
      with the community emerges a triangulation of universes that is characterized by as much
      isolation as proximity, representing their desire to understand and identify with the other, while
      still feeling that deep isolation.
