Avenida Argentina

Summary

A night in Buenos Aires. Young people between sunset
and sunrise, in search of trash, love, justice, a future. Four
life lines that will cross but won′t touch each other.

Nico sprays, under the cover of darkness, political graffiti
against his anger at the corrupt government. His trademark
is the spider, climbing over house walls and thus into
Estér′s nightlife. Together with her mother and her little
son, she uses the hours before garbage removal trying to
turn other people′s waste into their living. Natalia is
coming home from her webcam-stripping-job. She is
dreaming of a man who loves her and of finally becoming
the woman on the outside that she feels she already is. But
right now she wants to go out, dance in a club and forget
all about everything. The "Amerika" is also the place Ani,
Hilde and Mechi are heading for. Drunk with cocktails,
styling and the thought of boys, the three girlfriends take
off into the night.

Avenida Argentina explores four opposite worlds along
the social striplines of today′s Argentina, between poor
and rich, unschooled and studied, indigenous and
European descent. An irritating snapshot of a society in
crisis.
