In the humble suburb of an Argentinean town, a solitary, 21-year-old petty thief named Félix kidnaps a one-and-a-half-year old child and runs off with him. Based on a true story, the film reflects on the maternal/paternal role and on filial love.

El transcurso de las cosas tells the tale of Gonzalo, a youngster in today's Argentina walking the tightrope between adolescence and adulthood. The search for his own self means facing his difficulties, his fears, his frustrations, not to mention leaving the safety of his home.

Turning 60, Aldo, a patient wine salesman, realizes that the sands of time are advancing and that the events in his life have left him feeling empty.

Ciro Guerra
Colombia
100 min.
Mañe is flat broke. Having lost a leg, he can't find a job, ergo can't pay his rent and is the butt of the jokes and scorn of others like him. While roaming the streets trying to scrape a living, he meets an unusual person, a man who carries people around on his back in the centre of Bogotá, for which he charges 500 pesos. A silletero. Mutually serving one another, a strange friendship grows between the two, thus making their lives easier to live while offering them the chance of redemption. But they share a past, the violent past which has always accompanied the people of Colombia. This past unites and separates them, uncovering them as beings who have lost everything, except the hope of starting again.
Enrique Gabriel
Spain-Argentina
A young high finance shark reads his horoscope in a cheap photomagazine. Thrown by the rag's foresight, he yearns to discover his horoscope for the following month. The magazine is put together by three eccentric old buddies, romantic supporters of obsolete ideas. Attempting to obtain his horoscope, the shark conceals his true identity of avid capitalist, and pretends to be an actor in photomagazines. But things get complicated with the appearance of Fraty, youngest of one of the old guy's three daughters.
Diego de la Texera
Brazil
110 min.
The first 60 workers of the Brasilia-Fortaleza road-building outfit are left to their own luck in middle of the Brazilian outback in 1964 after the military coup that toppled Joao Goulart's progressist government. Luckily for them, they were being visited at the time by 13 prostitutes who suffer the same fate. To survive, they - workers and prostitutes alike - organize themselves into a Utopian society with no prostitution, no two-timing, no exploitation. They live in perfect harmony until a mystery-charged sky offloads visitors who are totally foreign to them.
Santiago Palavecino
Argentina
80 min.
Returning to his native city of Chacabuco after a long absence, young movie director Sebastián Pagani intends to shoot his first feature film based on a tale by Haroldo Conti, a writer from the same city assassinated by the dictatorship. But a sudden reappearance from his past forces him to change his original plans: a childhood friend has just committed suicide in murky circumstances. While learning a craft necessary for his upcoming film, Pagani learns more about the death, increasingly surrounded by enigma, until gradually parking his own project, committing himself more and more to investigating the dead man's last days. However, towards the end, the two preoccupations unexpectedly blend into one another.
Fernán Rudnik
Argentina
65 min.
A lonely seaside town. The mayor has been governing the region for three decades. María, his young girlfriend, works for the post office. Toni, a sailor, arrives in town with the task of drawing up reports on the local situation. Together, the three lead a peaceful life. One day foreign investors appear declaring their intention to bring progress. The mayor opposes the initiative vehemently. The capital cuts off their supplies and communications with the outside, hence isolating the village in hunger and solitude. They resist. This is the tale of a village that refuses to disappear.
