Roberto Trucco

Short film by Martín Massé

Episodic feature film of five parts that have in common the city of Santa Fe and a terrible hot day with power outages and a varied sample of life in a small city, but rich in comedic drama and suspense.

Matías shares the same passions as his grandfather Leonel: the accordion and trains. When his grandfather dies, Matías inherits his grandfather's accordion and through music he resists giving up the wagons that lie abandoned twenty years later for dead.

Tomás is a teenager whose life, as always happens, changed from one moment to the next. But that present awakens a latent past that must be resolved in order to face the uncertain future.

A group of friends decide to spend the night in a field where a supernatural being resides, who asks for offerings in exchange for help.

An Argentine photographer, correspondent in the war in the former Yugoslavia, who is fired in 2002 for refusing to fire colleagues at a TV channel, keeps his compensation in a bank in Buenos Aires and looks for work. Suddenly, “el corralito” appears and, despite a law approved in Congress, the Government does not respect it and negotiates with the money from savers. Given this, the photographer surrounds his body with sticks of dynamite, goes to the bank where he has his $150,000 and threatens to blow up everyone who is there if they don't give him theirs. When he is released from prison, he flees and seeks refuge where he was born and raised 35 years ago. There he meets his best friend, who helps him defend his life.

Three people and a baby set off on separate journeys, along the same road; their disparate dreams and stories intertwine amidst the breathtaking deserted Patagonic route.
