An impressive reconstruction of time through archival materials, it explores through three characters the fate of 6 million immigrants who made our River Plate the most European region in all of Latin America. The three characters are fictional but their stories are real. From this collective adventure is a trace, a trace: it is the record of the photographers and filmmakers who documented the immigration process.

Todo sobre mi mate
Nelson Scartaccini
About those who created the habit of drinking mate, of the peasants who harvest the mate herbs, of the industry that produces it and of the sixty million people who consume it. It is a trip through history, the present and the future of mate in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina; a view that sways from mate to the hands that put it into circulation; a crossing between the intangible-symbolic and the political-social. How does a centuries-old indigenous tradition survive in a modern and coca-cola dominated world?
