Juan Baldana

Over the years they herded their animals up the mountain. But that custom had to be adapted to the economic proposals of the present. His world is extremely simple for the dizzying gaze of the city. They work day by day to generate a plate of food and in no way do they contemplate another place to live other than their mountain. There they were born, there they will die. Only two hours by car unites them with Santiago de Chile. So close so far.

In the heart of the Yungas forests of Jujuy lies San Francisco, a town of about five hundred inhabitants that survives the crisis of liberal democracy as best it can. There, a new way of seeing life, a new form of community, is palpable. Can people break free from the system and create their own laws? "Sentintes" explores this search for an alternative.

Alejo has decided to leave his previous life behind. He gets a job as a window cleaner in an important building in downtown Buenos Aires. He prefers to go through the most complicated moment of his life in the city heights, immersed in an alien world that forces him to go through unexpected experiences. Vertigo, loneliness, workplace harassment, helplessness and abandonment will turn him into a lonely and paranoid man hanging by a thread that is too fragile.

In Los Angeles, only a few people survived the closure of the railroad. This is the story of the last residents who refused to leave the town and those who dared to seek life in the city.

Remo Venica and Irmina Kleiner, Agrarian League activists in northern Argentina in the 1970s, were forced into exile in the mountains for four years. They gave birth to their first daughter and learned to live off what the mountains had to offer. Today, having survived military persecution, they have a sustainable biodynamic farm and are committed to repopulating the countryside. Their struggle continues.

Baraja feels like a useless and tired survivor. Political and social disappointment, long reclusive hours and dejection bring an omnipresent violence in a man that doesn't believe in anything or anyone anymore and fights as much against everybody as he does against himself.

“Soy Huao” is a film that is installed in the Toca family to watch from them and through the contemplation of a camera -which manages to become invisible-, a world organized by its own values and rules that far from any idea of consumption and urban well-being, it moves with very different customs in the midst of nature and survival in the face of vegetation loaded with a dense forest, the tropical humidity of the climate, and the variety of species of small animals. A plane that visits them every so often, connects the Huao community with the world. How long can a community that has struggled so hard to preserve its freedom resist the influence of the world as we know it?
