SYNOPSIS | SINOPSIS 

​

The friendship between Victoria Ocampo, Argentina's greatest cultural manager, and Benjamin Fondane, a Romanian avant-garde poet, can be read as a metaphor for the cultural movement of the 1930s and how many of their productions find a common destiny between loss and oblivion. Laura and Lalo, two actors from the underworld, take a tour in which they replenish the archive of photos, letters and testimonies, which give an account of this bond and the audacious projects that were born.

​

La amistad entre Victoria Ocampo, la mayor gestora cultural argentina, y Benjamin Fondane, un poeta vanguardista rumano, puede leerse como metáfora del movimiento cultural de los años treinta y de cómo muchas de sus producciones encuentran un destino común entre la pérdida y el olvido. Laura y Lalo, dos actores del under, realizan un recorrido en el que reponen el archivo de fotos, cartas y testimonios, que dan cuenta de este vínculo y de los audaces proyectos que vio nacer.
