Revolución
Leandro Ipiña toma distancia de los puntos de vista que se abordaron anteriormente en este nuevo film sobre San Martin. Narrada por un anciano que en su juventud fue amanuense de San Martín y en el 1880 del relato malvive en una pensión, la película entrelaza el interés intimista de su narración con un despliegue visual de dimensiones avasallantes para cubrir ese primer cruce de Los Andes en el que San Martin se planteó la liberación de toda Sudamérica de los virreynatos.

 

Revolution

The story starts in 1880, near the date when the remains of the deceased José de San Martín were moved to Buenos Aires. A veteran of the Army of the Andes gets an interview for the event, and the narration continues mostly through a flashback. The telling of the events does not follow the complete biography of San Martín, focusing instead in the Crossing of the Andes and the later Battle of Chacabuco.

Wakolda

En el verano de 1960, en la desolada región de la Patagonia, un médico alemán (Alex Brendemühl) conoce a una familia argentina y se une a ellos para seguir la ruta del desierto en caravana. La familia hace renacer en él todas sus obsesiones por la pureza y la perfección. En especial Lilith, una niña casi adolescente con un cuerpo demasiado pequeño para su edad. La fascinación es mutua; en pleno despertar sexual, Lilith siente una inquietante atracción por el forastero. Sin conocer la verdadera identidad del alemán, al llegar a Bariloche, Enzo (Diego Peretti) y Eva (Natalia Oreiro) lo aceptan como primer huésped de su hostería, a orillas del lago Nahuel Huapi. Aunque el extraño personaje despierta en los anfitriones cierto recelo, poco a poco se verán seducidos por sus modales, su distinción, su saber científico y su dinero.

The German Doctor (Wakolda)

The true story of an Argentine family who lived with Josef Mengele without knowing his true identity, and of a girl who fell in love with one of the biggest criminals of all time.
