La Grulla Audiovisual

A bitter postcard of the town of the Buenos Aires countryside that Argentinean writer Manuel Puig (1932-90) portrayed with singular mastery, based on his own land, a town named General Villegas. Its inhabitants never forgave him. However, a woman, owner of a painful and enigmatic past, will build a bridge between Coronel Vallejos, the town created by Puig, and the real General Villegas, trying to reconcile the place with the writer.

In 1985, a containment embankment gave way causing the flooding of the tourist village Epecuén. It remained submerged until a few years ago, but a climate cycle of intense drought exposed the remains of a ghost town. In the fantasies of each protagonist, a common thread is being developed; they relate their own experiences and feelings that arise from what happened. In his illusions there is a look to the future. They maintain the hope that not everything has been lost and that Epecuén will resurface.
