A separated yet self-sufficient craftswoman puts up a friend who is also separating. The hostess has three teenage children, and the arrival of her guest will interfere with their domestic harmony, apart from slowly but surely causing a hormonal surge in one of the boys.

Sofabed

Two men of low life travel by car under a sweltering sun. They do not find the place they are looking for, lost in a remote Argentine countryside. They arrive at a workshop to ask questions and events seem to take off. The short was part of "Short Stories I" (1995).

Historias Breves I: Dónde y cómo Oliveira perdió a Achala

Bizarre documentary about a strange white bearded snake and bird catcher, who lives in his scrap-yard and zoo just outside Buenos Aires.

Bonanza (En vías de extinción)

With BONANZA (FID 2002), his first film, Ulisses Rosell took us on a journey to meet a tribe of extremely colourful Argentinian poachers. This new dive into exotica takes us to the Wichi Indians in Chaco, Argentina, who have not long been sedentary, with an American ethnologist as our guide. To some degree a repentant ethnologist, John Palmer, rather than finishing his thesis, married a native and had a large family. Rather than observing it from a distance, he chose to become part of this discreet and beleaguered community. He strives to support their cause, getting involved in law suits and confronting companies which pillage land that belongs to the Indians with complete impunity.

The Ethnographer

Chlorinda, neighbor to Asunción, in Paraguay, is small and full of shops, stalls and warehouses. The city converges towards the "La Fraternidad" Catwalk, forty meters of wooden bridge, which crosses a nonexistent stream-boundary.
