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.

When illustrator Gusti’s son is born totally different than expected, the father has to find a new, personal way to accept the situation.

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.
