A mother recounts her son’s life and his death at the hands of police in this delicate and layered film.
Over grainy nighttime depictions of a busy Buenos Aires intersection, Mónica speaks of her teenaged son Luciano Arruga. It was where he was last seen before being beaten and killed by the police. In daylight, the streets become sites for protests against state-sanctioned forced disappearances and police brutality.
This film poetically focuses on urban marginalia, including street lights, graffiti and trash, juxtaposing them with old book illustrations and altered Google street views. Together, these counter-documents prompt us to pay attention to the inconspicuous. The city is presented as a shifting landscape where structural violence is perpetuated, but where social justice can also be sought through imagination and direct action.
