I met Ángel on a footbridge that divides Argentina from Paraguay. Listening to him moved me so much that I promised to come back and make a film together.
Clarisa Navas's film is more than a record of the passage of time; more than childhood and how someone grows up; more than the construction of masculinity and how to live with the contradictions of daily adolescent life and life's expectations. It's a film that questions the documentary process itself: how we relate to the people we film, how those bonds are shaped, and how much a filmmaker can intrude. It is, without a doubt, an honest account that challenges the director's vision with a real life unfolding before her. A film whose documentary heart lies in raising questions that become essential.
