Edgardo Cozarinsky : 2011
A man drives around Buenos Aires by night after waiting in vain for the return of a woman who has left him. During his aimless wandering, his inner thoughts take the form of poetry, illuminating chance encounters and what his imagination makes of the situations he witnesses. He meets all kind of night creatures, either real or fictional – loners, thieves, fugitives, homeless, suicides, lovers, and the ghost of the woman he shall not see again. In the early hours of the morning, an old poet reminisces about memory and its use of the past. There are people of the day and people of the night. The night ones recognise each other. Their city is theirs only. When the others seek refuge in the dubious safety of home, they go out to confront ourselves with that truth hidden by light and revealed by darkness. The film premiered in the Orizzonti selection at La Biennale di Venezia 2011.
