Two con artists try to swindle a stamp collector by selling him a sheet of counterfeit rare stamps, the "nine queens".

This documentary revives the story of "Nueve Reinas" and the legacy of its creator, Fabián Bielinsky. After years of perseverance, his script became a phenomenon: more than 1.2 million viewers, critical acclaim, and remakes in Hollywood and India. He then surprised fans with The Aura, a thriller that established him as a versatile director, before his sudden death. Actors and crew will return to the original locations, while his family and previously unseen footage reveal the man behind the artist.

In Buenos Aires, the twenty-something Jewish-Argentinean Ariel Makaroff ditches the University of Architecture and spends his time wandering through the downtown gallery where his mother has a lingerie shop and his brother runs an importation business. Ariel has never understood why his father left him when he was a baby, but when his dad returns to Argentina, that will soon change.

Two rival families of different origin join the force by the love of two young. The journalist Ariel Cohen falls in love for Carla Rosi, while investigating his father, Giancarlo, a wealthy shady business that is congressional candidate with presidential aspirations.

Director Miguel Kohan tries to connect the memories of his Gaucho-Jewish family with the fleeing of the Sephardim from the Iberian Península in 1492. Surinam, New York, Jamaica, and Brazil are some of the places where the untold story of those who escaped inquisition is visibilized.

A man travels to the Argentine north following the leads of a mythical pre-Columbian entity in charge of the relatives’ sorrow. The roads at night, the inns and the large salina of Zelarayán’s poem reject anthropological shortcuts and build up a mystery that is perhaps as formidable as the very bearer of sorrow.

Sound Design for Cinema in Argentina, by famous Sound Designers

“What would my classmates think if they found out I was Jewish when, in most of our classes, something was said against us,” Mariette Diamant asks herself. For more than seven decades, this woman -who escaped with her parents from Nazi-occupied France during WWII- would hide the Jewish origins of her family for fear of retaliation. But at 90, Mariette decides to shed light on that past that haunts her, tell her story and reveal her true identity with the sole aim of freeing herself from those wounds that won’t heal, from that pain that never ceases. In the last part of a documentary trilogy about the Holocaust’s ghosts in Argentina, writer-director Poli Martínez Kaplun seizes one of the most powerful tools of cinema— the capability of turning into the perfect counteroffensive for omission.

This testimonial film featuring former children of the Holocaust who endured Nazi occupation in Europe, shows that even after having experienced deep suffering, they feel a deep love for life. These survivors lived today in Argentina and are members of “Children of the Shoah in Argentina”. Their multiple voices speak about the pain of having been kept apart from their biological families and having lived their childhood in forced silence. They tell us how they were rescued by their saviors, and of their gratitude towards them.
