"For her next movie, De eso no se habla, María Luisa Bemberg needs a dwarf". That was an ad on local media during preproduction of the movie that would become the last od the director. Among the peoplewho responded the ad was Alejandra Podestá, who ended up getting the leading role along Marcello Mastroianni. Through testimonies of varios friends, members of the crew and the words by Alejandra herself, who was brutally murdered in 2011, A Beautiful Dream tells us the story of the making of the film and the relationship between Bemberg and Podestá, which winds up being a tribute to both women.

It’s 2007, it’s hot, and the school year is coming to an end. Cande distances herself from her friends when she discovers the Fotolog of Lola, the leader of an indie band. Between concerts, late nights online and a changing sexuality, she begins to stray from what she knew.

A poetic and autobiographical audiovisual piece that records: the poem the director wrote while crying, the parties she went to, a text message that says "sorry, I can't give you what you need", friends dancing, the city, a kiss, flowers thrown, the end of a bond, an investigation into all bonds, a love-hate letter to the digital age.
