The San Roque González de Santa Cruz bridge connects Posadas, Argentina, with Encarnación, Paraguay. At its inauguration, in April 1990, the official speech said that the work condensed the dream of unity between Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. But it has been transformed into a repressive and corrupt border post.

Pedro Ponce is a teacher and director of the secondary school in the La Loma neighborhood, in Lomas de Zamora, in the Buenos Aires suburbs. The history of the establishment is marked by the death of six students due to the spiral of violence, marginalization and delinquency during the years 1994 and 2000. Together with neighbors, teachers and students, she carries out a constant and unequal struggle so that the establishment persists in that hamlet that was once an incipient working-class neighborhood.
