She gets a job in a coffee bar, buys a canary, and stops smoking pot. Silvia keeps meticulous count of the coffees she serves at work, compulsively chops and cooks tons of chicken, and occasionally steals something. Still restless, Silvia tires of her job, quits it, and goes on a trip to the seaside. In an encounter with a suave Armani-clad Italian tourist, Silvia finds out about the existence of another woman called Silvia Prieto, a realization that makes her world crumble. About the Director Martin Rejtman studied filmmaking at New York University, where he had to make one short per week and had to shoot with what was available. He established a mode of production embraced by many other young Argentine filmmakers, both before and since: that is, the art of working with a small budget. Rejtman uses a minimalist style when making films.

My experience before the Parana river at the 33rd parallel. An attempt to record the river as water in movement, a proposal that is, incidentally, utopian.

Several very important filmmakers have debuted at this festival, including Hou Hsiao-hsien, Arturo Ripstein, and Zhang Ke Jia. For several years, the 3 Continents Festival team has sought to devote itself not only to the organization of a unique event called Festival, but to diversify its actions orienting itself towards cinemas and professionals from the southern hemisphere.
