Love story between a hopeless woman and the one that saves her, united by camaraderie, solidarity, and complicity.

A group of artists adopt an inter-disciplinary approach to show what the reality of madness is really like, but they end up showing the madness of reality. Raquel Lubartowski decided to stage a performance of the play Marat Sade by Peter Weiss at the Vilardebó Hospital, which is the psychiatric hospital in Montevideo. This documentary takes us through from the first meeting to the first rehearsal at an old dilapidated polyclinic.

This documentary takes us back to the events surrounding 1958 when the University Organic Law was passed. We hear the testimony of three university teachers who took part in the debates and the student activism at that time: the experiences of people who were young “back then”, the cultural context of the period and the connection between the students and the worker's movement.

To grow old in Rivera is to grow old on the border. The protagonists of this documentary tell us in Portuguese as well as in Spanish about their lives far from the bustle of the capital city. Their days are long, their work is hard, they have few opportunities to improve their situation, but they still haven't lost the ability to smile or their love of life. The aim of this documentary is to show what the process of growing old in Uruguay is like, and to raise people's awareness about the situation of the elderly. It shows, without prejudice, just what old age is.

Five stories of summer love lived by young Uruguayans and the hopeful record - of three sunsets - to see the green ray.

Baltasar Brum is a town of three thousand souls in the department of Artigas. In 1986 the train station was closed down and the community was in danger of disappearing altogether, but today it is still there and in fact it is growing. The local samba “schools”, which are similar to these organizations in Brazil except that they speak Spanish, tell the story of the town and its outstanding figures against a background of local and more universal events. The documentary shows how carnival is celebrated in this Uruguayan border town.
