DocumentaMadrid
XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Synopsis
In Antarctica, an area with complex national arrangements, workers from different backgrounds live side by side. Filmmaker Quimu Casalprim imbues this earthly and psychological limbo, and its phantasmagorical illusions, with a fascinating Sokurovian atmosphere. Meanwhile, its inhabitants digress into philosophical and transcendental conversations about utopias, religion and nationalism. (MMF)
