Mermaid on board

French actress Maria Falconetti (1892-1946) traveled a winding road from her glory days in luminous Paris, in the 1920s, to her last days in Buenos Aires, in the late 1940s.

The story of Lars "Faen" Andersen, the man who killed the most number of whales in history

Working during the pandemic between Norway and Argentina, a filmmaker investigates a mystery involving a cursed island, a missing writer, and a strange Antarctic fever.

In 1923, a group of rebellious workers from Rjukan, Norway, led their families deep into the Brazilian jungle to build a utopia. Instead, they found ruin, suffering, and catastrophe. One survivor warned those back home, calling it “a hell beyond compare.” A century later, a filmmaker sets out to reconstruct the forgotten story.

Thousands of Russian citizens moved to Buenos Aires in 2023 as a result of the war in Ukraine. Among them are pregnant women seeking to give birth and secure Argentine citizenship, men avoiding conscription, LGBT people seeking the freedom to live openly, and a professional choir building a life far from home. As they settle into exile, they embrace Argentina’s tolerance, human rights, and free healthcare and education. But Javier Milei’s election casts uncertainty over their future and that of the country.
