Puerto Piojo. The return.

More than forty years have passed since the last visits to Puerto Piojo beach, in Dock Sud (Avellaneda), near Buenos Aires. Today the place is surrounded by a Petrochemical Pole and few remember how to get there.
This short film follows a group of researchers and former visitors in their attempt to return to this famous beach, a few meters from the polluted Riachuelo river. How much of its ancient landscape survives, described by many as a natural beauty?
