5-T-2 Ushuaia Adolfo Scilingo was the only military officer to confess the crimes of the dictatorship that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983. Among the genocide practices described were the death flights -- the dropping of tortured living prisoners into the Río de la Plata or the Atlantic Ocean. Scilingo specifies the model that was used in the flights he participated in: an Electra. Of the eight Electras belonging to the Argentine Navy, only the three bought in 1973 could have been used in the flights that Scilingo describes. Those planes are at present in Argentina. This film searches cartographically the traces of those planes.

Behind the Scenes The film guides us behind the scenes of the theatre and film productions.

Some episodes from their real lives are funny, some are scary, but all of them are exciting to witness.

Quiver A requiem for death and a memoir of pain, where the line between consent and assault is as blurred as the line between the characters' past and present.

Rochdale College 1970 Rochdale College was an experiment with new ideas and ways of living while being conventionally forced to live within the old, dead civilization and its structures. The results inevitably show confusion and angered disillusionment. The new ideas and ways, never allowed time to evolve and produce positive results, were smothered for the sake of convenience and convention. The film is ultimately a nostalgic reminiscence of the Sixties.
