Driven by a desire for emancipation, indigenous communities descend the rivers of Argentina on rafts made from mud and plastic bottles, alarming the coastal authorities as they go.

Terminal norte
Argentina, 2021, 37 mins, colour, subtitled in French
During the confinement in 2020, Lucrecia Martel returns to her home in Salta. There she follows Julieta Laso who, like a muse, introduces her to a group of provocative women artists who exchange glances and opinions around the fire. To this singular moment, which symbolises the confinement of a society, the filmmaker contrasts freedom and the songs of the women themselves.
