This documentary follows an Austrian photographer who, because of the Argentine crisis, must leave Buenos Aires, where she has lived for the past 10 years. It’s a hard decision to take—she loves the city and its people. Without being cynical, we can say she understands the pressures created by the present economic situation, because she encourages people to find creative solutions to their problems and to band together. Money was rare long before the freezing of savings accounts and the new monetary policies of the Peronist government. Barter had stood in for the liquid assets in many transactions. This is the theme of the photographer’s last reportage: it records the absurdity of the situation created by the lack of money in a developed country. The film is her vision of a nation in crisis, its moral standards, its customs and of a megalopolis in turmoil.
