The Faces of the Moon is the story of five women from five different countries (Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico, USA and Spain), invited to Mexico City to be the jury of the Third Annual Latin American Women's Film Festival. In six vertiginous days these women share their past experiences, their ghosts and, their expectations. The group views and critiques the festival's film entries, and, in the process, the women reveal their personal, political and national histories.

The Faces of the Moon

Federico, shaped by a generation that believed it possible to bring about utopia, tries to survive the changes of the 21st century, but is trapped in a dead end street. Herman, his friend and revolutionary companion , mutilated by war injuries, finds a way to express his ideals, struggles and hopes through painting. With his young son, he retires to the countryside, where Flora, a pragmatic and generous woman, helps with the household and the raising of his son. Herman dies from a long standing illness. Federico, forced by his friend, made a death bed promise to care for Daniel. Hope is not a utopia that is reached through a specific action. Federico learns at Daniel's side that the future, like love, is not conquered but fashioned day.
