Description:
Ernestina is a small town (the satellite image shows twenty blocks spattered with a few constructions sites here and there) that is located about two hundred kilometers away from the city of Buenos Aires. Around a hundred people live there, they know each other and spend almost the entire year getting bored togetherBut in the summer things are different: visitors come in unacceptable amounts looking for a dip in the nearby river and, coincidence or not, that's the moment when this peaceful town witnesses waves of strange acts of vandalism. With this material, Martín Bechimol and Pablo Aparo make a film that is hugely warm and gracefully approaches a mystery that is much bigger and unfathomable than the one of the "river people": the town's people!
Ernestina es un pequeño pueblo de 150 habitantes, escenario de este documental con la tensión y suspense de un film de ficción.
Los personajes extraños que viven en el pueblo nos introducen en los hechos vandálicos que produce la gente que visita el río. Actualmente los vecinos instalaron seguridad privada y al parecer esto acabó con el problema. Sin embargo, mientras los documentalistas estan rodando la película suceden nuevos hechos extraños. ¿Qué sucede realmente en Ernestina?
La película nos invita a introducirnos con humor en el mundo extraño de este pueblo, las vidas particulares de sus habitantes y la incógnita que despierta las diversas historias sobre La gente del río.
