The city, the crowd, the individual. Everything unfolds on two pedestrian streets in the heart of Buenos Aires: Florida and Lavalle. Observational documentary about a critical space filled with dissonance, incompatibilities, and absurdity. A territory overflowing with voices, images, and cries for help. The center of vertigo and towering cosmopolitan buildings forms the labyrinth where the city screams and falls silent, reveals and conceals. Streets in agony speaking about us, their inhabitants.

An enthusiast pioneer founds a city full of alchemical symbolism. A gentleman is named Grand Master of the Lodge of the Eastern Knights. A writer publishes the frst utopian novel of Uruguay. An entrepreneur builds castles, churches, hotels and palaces that will have different destinies. The pioneer, the Knight, the writer and the businessman are the same man: Francisco Piria.
