    • Synopsis
    • In the streets of Villa Crespo, one body moves in a rush—a mass of energy and emotions named Juana, an actress from Córdoba who, among failed auditions, the advice from his mentor and a frayed relationship, seeks for a sign of transcendence and light. The close-ups during peaceful moments seem to want to capture a bit of her energy and voracity, but Juana escapes, restless, and, guided by the findings of a mysterious book, she surrenders to an erratic and intense journey through a city open to adventure (at least to those who know how to find it). Not suitable for cynics, the new film by prolific director Matías Szulanski takes us on a bike ride through a path that may seem naïve, and in which laughter, weeping and fantasy of all kinds are welcome; but which also reveals in its surface the footprints of a dissatisfaction that, sometimes, cannot be expressed with words.
