The Jerusalem of Argentina

In Moisés Ville, a rural village founded at the end of the 19th century in the heart of the pampas, the last descendants of the legendary Jewish gauchos fight against time to safeguard the memory of the pioneers. Lovingly, they showcase relics of their forbears in an impressive museum, accompany tourists through empty alleyways, and preserve with utmost care their most emblematic buildings. Meanwhile, everyone eagerly awaits the Festival of Cultural Integration, a new event that will define this distant and exotic corner of the world.
