Heroic Mexican wrestler duo Octagon and Mascara Sagrado take on a bevvy of sexy female catburglars led by Lina Santos

A touring theatre travelling through Uruguay soon turns into a melodrama, which in turn degenerates into an incredible police affair.

A Colombian gangster buys modern weapons to re-sell them to guerrillas of various countries, under the patronage of the Mafia. Interpol is after Gallardo, the Mexican provider, with the help of two masked wrestlers, Octagon and Atlantis.

In 1956, the humorous designer Oski made a work about the foundation of the city of Buenos Aires. Fernando Birri made a film from this work in 1959, using the original text of the German explorer Ulrich Schmidel. This film, which disappeared in the years of the dictatorship, was miraculously restored on video in 2000. The story that the documentary describes can be compared with the situation of Latin American cinema throughout all these years.
