Mario Benedetti and Luz López met when they were teenagers, he became a writer and she became a public servant. Together they shared life, exile, failures, success, friends and love. Sixty years and eighty books later, Luz suffers from Alzheimer's, forgets all of her past, and finally she forgets Mario just before she died. The film reconstructs this memory with an eye set on the author and the love that bound them together.
1924: a group of men, amateur footballers of diverse professions and humble origins, set out on a journey towards the greatest adventure of their lives. They depart from Uruguay for Europe to disembark in Paris in its "Crazy Years" where, against all odds, Olympic glory and the amazement of the whole world awaited them. This feat would be the first of others to come in 1928 and 1930.
This is a movie about Uruguayans who want to make fiction films. We visited various filmmakers seeking to capture the enormous diversity of stories, realities, and sensibilities through the scripts they are writing. We get to know their neighborhoods and homes, and then we get closer to the ways in which each of them adapt the fantasies that have been born in their minds and hearts. In this way, we portray how they experience cinema and what would mean for them to make their film come true.
