The second installment of the adventures of the Corsini Commando takes us this time to the Pampas plain, where Corsini grew up and forged a vision of the world that would accompany him throughout his life. The result of this excursion is an erratic wandering through the landscapes of the Homeland, its paradoxes and its ghosts: A land dreamed of by a newly arrived foreigner who imagined for himself a gaucho destiny that would never become completely real. Now then: is that not, in the end, the destiny of all things?

On 9 July – Argentina’s Independence Day – Llinás sets off in Buenos Aires with his regular cameraman Agustín Mendilaharzu to re-record ‘Corsini interpreta a Blomberg y Maciel’, an album made in 1929 by lyricist Hector Pedro Blomberg and composer Enrique Maciel, as an ode to Juan Manuel de Rosas, leader of the Argentine Confederation.

Clara and Alejandro move into a new house. A few days later, he goes on a work trip and she is left alone, surrounded by moving boxes. That chaos makes her accept a series of random invitations that will take her away from the hermetic world she lives in.

In a a five year quest through the beautiful landscapes of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, music from Rio de la Playa travels between Argentina and Uruguay covering genres like Rock, Candombe, Murga, Cumbia, Tango and Milonga. They are exclusively performed live for this movie, in previously unheard versions.

A monolith is the excuse for a journey to an obsession full of charms and, like every dream, also some disappointment.

Feature film that appeals to the memory of the last military dictatorship in Argentina.
