Director Statement

From within the confines of these gilded enclaves, the youth's rebellion unfurls, yearning to break free from the private security’s golf carts and brand new automatic SUVs filled with mom's shopping bags. Unshackled by the ignorance of their unearned privileges, Argentine adolescents dance in ecstasy, fearless of the mild consequences that can befall in the gardens of the Third World’s Eden. Only the omniscient surveillance cameras know what’s being simmered at night, behind minimalist architecture and silent boulevards with no need to be named.
