Those who rebel against authority figures disobey. This film echoes “Cordobazo” — a popular rebellion in Cordoba against the Argentine military dictatorship in 1969 — through the story of Alicia, a trolleybus driver who joins an insurrection against an oppressive regime.
Maria lives with her mother in a village in the interior of the country. She does the housework and works as a masseur in a room in the house. The mother is in a bad way because of an injury caused by Suncho, the dog in the house, and then Maria takes care of her demands. Florence, her younger sister, is moving to the capital with her boyfriend. The early arrival of the couple in the village, to finalize details of the move, triggers movements inside the house.
At the end of 2019, dozens of cans with films made by film students in the 60s and 70s were found at the University of Córdoba. Until then, it was believed that they had been destroyed during the last military dictatorship. Fifty years later, those images are projected again, taking us to an almost unknown period of Córdoba cinema and a time of unprecedented political, social and cultural effervescence. Each frame exceeds its original intention, to tell us about a group of young people passionate about cinema and the interests that mobilized them: psychology, militancy, music, sexual freedom. But the appearance of a strange character linked to the fate of the cans reminds us of the abrupt and violent end of the dreams of that generation.
A divorced taxi driver shows up with a black eye at the home of his ex-wife’s new family; he’s been invited to dinner and he desperately wants to reconnect with his young daughter. A professional magician’s car breaks down and he ends up spending an emotionally intense night with a young, widowed toll booth worker. A singer songwriter serving a lengthy prison sentence is released for one night to perform at a local community centre. These three deeply engaging stories about yearning for connection unfold in parallel, one New Year’s Eve in a small town in central Uruguay, balancing the universality of human suffering with a powerful sense of hope.

Córdoba, Argentina, 1974. The "Navarrazo" (Argentine Revolution) took place in the capital of Córdoba: Police Chief Antonio Navarro seized the Government House and deposed Governor Obregón Cano. A year later, in May 1975, under the intervention of Brigadier Raúl Lacabanne, 26 political prisoners belonging to different revolutionary organizations escaped from the "Buen Pastor" women's prison (now a shopping mall). This escape marked one of the many milestones of the turbulent Córdoba of the 1970s. The women (who had been tortured in prison) thus regained their freedom and returned to the struggle, although nine of them were disappeared by the military dictatorship. The documentary features testimonies from ten of those women.
