Ricardo Casas

El Padre De Gardel

Ricardo Casas

For thirty years, Carlos Escayola was the main politician of the small town of Tacuarembó, Uruguay. This farmer was known both for his political and cultural achievements (including the construction of a theater), and for the reputation of seducer, which earned him one of the greatest family polemics in the history of the region.

Palabras Verdaderas

Ricardo Casas

Mario Benedetti, José Saramago

The documentary looks in the life and work of Mario Benedetti, especially in his poetic work, the keys to an illustrious Montevideo. A man who has had to live several exiles and has received all the awards that this world can give. But above all, the affection of an unconditional, massive and faithful audience that follows him everywhere and pampers him every day with their applause and reading. A sad childhood, a youth full of work and reading, and a maturity full of commitments marked Benedetti. His work testifies the history, that which only artists can tell.

Donde Había la Pureza Implacable del Olvido

Ricardo Casas

A musician and composer who grew up in Tacuarembó, Eduardo Darnauchans, was one of the main creators of popular music in Uruguay. He was persecuted for political reasons from 1962 to 1984, and this documentary covers his life and work as a reflection of that troubled time.
