Para los pobres piedras

2013 · 71 min · Documentary

As in a western, the strength of the film lies in the splendid silence of the Mapuche landscapes of southern Argentina. During his transhumance, the tenderness of Don Ernaldo, his children and his siblings, is scratched by the hostile barbed wire, laid for profitable economic purposes, which the natives always despise and assimilate to the poor. They organize their survival between modernity and necessary resistance.

Movie
Argentina may lead South America in terms of progressive social politics, but the gap between cultural values and recently accorded rights to gays, lesbians and transsexuals is palpable and persistent. A toxic atmosphere is created from the all- encompassing Catholicism and Machismo along with the complexity of class, historical and rural-urban divides, as well as aboriginal-settler tensions.
