Lagunas

A teacher with a blank notebook - the great Liliana Bodoc - arrives at a school in the middle of the desert behind the trail of the Huarpes. As in her books, Bodoc speaks to the children frankly about important things - water, the wind, death. Although, rather than speaking to them, she asks them - she looks into their stories and invites them to give shape to their ideas. But Lagoons is not exactly a documentary about Liliana Bodoc; it’s about lots of things - about the ghosts that inhabit a territory, about the bridges between generations, about memory.
