En los márgenes de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, existen dos predios que cuentan con historias similares. Ambos fueron espacios de dispersión y diversión edificados por distintas dictaduras: la Ciudad Deportiva de La Boca y el parque de diversiones Interama. En la actualidad, alrededor de las ruinas de esos dos espacios se desarrollan asentamientos y villas habitadas por miles de familias en estado de indigencia. Este documental explora el tránsito de personajes que recorren esos lugares con frecuencia, para retratar un presente sobre las huellas de la historia en el paisaje urbano.
In the margins of the city, two lots sharing coincidences are placed in a dialogue. They were both locations for entertainment built by different dictatorships: The Sport City of La Boca was built during Ongania's de facto government, and the Interama amusement park opened near the end of the last military regime. Today both places are in ruins and their surroundings harbor settlements and shanty towns where thousands of families live, many of them migrants and in extreme poverty. Through a thorough investigation, Oesterheld becomes an explorer with a privileged eye who films the transit of those characters as they frequently pass through these places, and he depicts the present day over the tracks history left on the urban landscape. The result is a Buenos Aires City seen from its ends with perplexity, beauty, emotion and a neutral eye. The film combines densities with an analytical storytelling that is yet deeply atmospheric and transforming through the reality it manages to capture.
