Gerónimo Ballerini

The repression of desire is portrayed in a being inhabited by a duality present in everyday life, a young butcher who explores his femininity surrounded by blood, death and violence.

A verbose and "old-school" young woman is on her first date. On the way to the old-fashioned café where she'll meet Joaquín, she comes across the new Buenos Aires gastronomic offerings in the Palermo neighborhood and can't help but discuss them on the date. The complaint of nostalgic centennials. Clinging to what remains of the past, so as not to feel its absence, this longing breeds a rejection of the new.

In a small rural town where gossip and faith intertwine, Marianela tries to raise her children amid unspoken rules and lingering silences. While her daughter Dolores falls in love with an impossible figure and her son Isidro begins to attend church on his own, suspicions, rumors, and ecclesiastical secrets begin to leak through the cracks of the neighborhood. Menos averigua Dios is a dark comedy about double standards, informal power structures, and the small acts of resistance that shape everyday life in tight-knit communities.

Through a satirical and sincere voice-over, Cielo tells us what her childhood was like in a small town in Buenos Aires. The techniques used in the experimental film are a mix of analog and digital: painting, drawing, collage, photography, digital rendering, animation and video.
