One can become involved in a subject to the point of no return. In a found-footage work using images from Amalia, the first Argentine fiction film from 1914, this short film explores a man’s obsession with a woman entangled in a political mystery during the fateful years of Rosas’ rule in Argentina.

Short film belonging to the collective feature film "Archivos Intervenidos: Cine Escuela," produced by the Pablo Ducrós Hicken Film Museum, where images of Bariloche landscapes from 1941 are intertwined in relation to a fragment of the novel "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier, on which Alfred Hitchcock's film is based.

When she made her first film in 1960, Vlasta Lah was the only woman to direct a sound feature film in Argentina. Her path was arduous and long: from her childhood in a country torn apart by war to her training at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome, to her arrival in Argentina fleeing another war, where she became the most important assistant director at Estudios San Miguel. Through her personal correspondence and a meticulous investigation, her name will be rescued from oblivion.
