Celina Murga
This is a story that poses questions about this specific class of Argentinean society is raising the new generations. The film aims at portraying this class through the point of view of the kids. In this way, I intend to tell about a social problematic of my country: the huge social polarization, but from a different point of view that hasn’t been much explored so far. At a certain moment in the film, a new character enters the neighbourhood; he’s the brother of the maid working at the kids’ house. The kids’ meeting with this character triggers the central theme: how do these kids relate to a world they don’t even know?
Celina Murga was born in 1973 in Paraná, Entre Ríos. She studied at the Universidad del Cine, in Buenos Aires, and wrote and directed several short films as Una tarde felíz, Interior-Noche and Frío Afuera.
