It centres on two men who grew up in the town of Gualeguaychú, in the east of Argentina near the border with Uruguay. Every summer they participate in the town’s traditional carnival, which transforms the men of the community into Dionysiac figures via costumes, glitter and feathers.
The Carnival is depicted with the picturesque precision and vitality. The film shows not the parade itself, but the preparation for it, the expectations, the last hours before the event, when the bodies are transformed. The film turns the eve of the happening into a source of mystery and visual excitement.
