Partidos, voces del exilio

In the Anconetani family's former home, located in the Chacarita neighborhood of Buenos Aires, you'll find the workshop, the instrument shop, and the Accordion Museum, which displays century-old instruments and preserves the family's history. Nazareno Anconetani, 91, cherishes the nearly extinct craft of accordion making. With his joy and the magic of his stories, he transports us to a past where effort and work were a daily celebration of life.

Mario and Ana, in voluntary exile from Buenos Aires, live in a remote Argentine valley with their 12-year-old son Ernesto. Mario runs a school and a wool cooperative; Ana, a doctor, heads a clinic with Nelda, a progressive nun. Into this idealistic family comes Hans, a jaded Spanish geological engineer -- surveying the land for the local patron, to see if it can be dammed for hydro-electric power, which would drive the peasants from the land into the cities.

Documentary about the chamamé accordionist Raúl Barboza, born in Buenos Aires in 1938.

Collective film made in times of confinement. April 2020. The film gives visual form to inner worlds—what the directors see and how they see it. How they inhabit their spaces, their bodies, their fears and perspectives in isolation, and how they connect with the “outside worlds.”
