Forging a Nation

In the 1920s, like many others, a Jew left Europe with his family, hoping to find in Argentina a land to build the future of his dreams. His children, and his children’s children, all his descendants would live their lives marked by his humanistic legacy. Journalists, traders, editors, physicians, all share the passion for the roots of their identity, for their land and the occupations of their choosing. Then, a cinematographer decides to trace down that road and make an exploratory documentary seeking to learn and understand that journey, the adventure of his grandparents and his parents. Aunts, cousins, mother and brothers accompany him in front of the camera lens. And amid the intimate perspective of his relatives’ testimonies and the search for the places where the story developed, he expects to find something beyond the mere personal story of his immigrant grandparents.
