The lives of Ana, Haneen and María are crossed by the imaginaries of their Italian, Ranquelian and Syrian identities. Their stories, inherited and their own, intermingle with the dust, the desert and the plain of the immense land of La Pampa.
Structured as a labyrinth-like game and inspired by Jorge Luis Borges, Aleph is a travelogue of experience, a dreamer's journey through the lives, experiences, stories and musings of protagonists spanning ten countries and five continents.
Federico, in his mid-20s, lives alone in Buenos Aires. The day his grandmother dies, he decides to part with his girlfriend. He fears hurting her. However, she is laid-back, feisty and not even close to feeling hurt. He begins obsessing over her unexpected reaction—but then he meets someone else.
The ears of the standing horses are cut off above the closed dawn. A girl roller skates on the parquet floor of an empty apartment. In the rain-coloured garden, a white rose bush with dew. A film of process, of observations and notes on the inner landscape and the beauty of lost moments.
Delfina decides to spend with her two best friends, in her family’s manor house, her last day before getting married. In a sometimes violent, sensual or caring atmosphere, they share their doubts, their memories, their secrets, but also their bitterness. This intriguing title (literally Mares and Parrots) hides a subtle social unease within the young Buenos Aires bourgeoisie.
