The night of July 18th 1896 a small group of people attended the first film projection in Buenos Aires. This is the story of three of them, who will go on to become the pioneers of south-american cinema, not without being involved in a couple scandals including a duel, a mysterious disappearance and the burning of a lab in the centric area of the city. Archival footage meets historical fact and cinematic recreation in a filmic exercise that is not interested in finding reality in fiction but quite the opposite: finding fiction in reality.
