The Things Where They No Longer Were

Fiction shortfilm

Changing the Story: Voices of the Land highlights the daily struggles of environmental and Indigenous rights defenders in Latin America, centering their voices, emotions, and resistance.

Four teenagers occupy an abandoned house, in a working-class neighborhood in the outskirts of Buenos Aires. They seek to build a shelter where they can escape from family abandonment, neighbor´s cruelty, and the constant stalking by the police. In a seemingly desolate neighborhood, with factory sounds and rusty walls, the four teenagers are constantly observed by people around them. Inhabit narrates the transitory, the impossibility of building and creating a sense of belonging in a hostile place with a marginalizing environment.
