"La luz de una linterna pone en evidencia la
oscuridad de un espacio que se adivina amplio y laberíntico. Hombres
uniformados caminan, ordenan y apilan cajas, suben y bajan escaleras. Sobre
imágenes dignas de un policial, una poética voz enuncia títulos que organizan
fichas y números que categorizan carpetas. En este intrigante cortometraje
observacional, la particular mirada de Estrella Herrera y Celeste Rojas hace de
una tarea práctica y burocrática un universo fascinante, abriendo preguntas en
torno al aspecto tangible de la historia de nuestro país y a la espacialidad de
la memoria."

In an early twentieth century building located in the heart of downtown Buenos Aires, the old Archive of the Argentine Nation was housed. Initially built to be a bank, the building kept behind the armored doors of the vaults the written documents, photographs, videos and audios of centuries of the history of a country. In 2021 the archive started moving and undertook a moving process. Its workers packed the heritage in numerous boxes. In collaboration with the Argentine army, successive trips were made to move this material memory of the nation to its new destination.
