Cronoeterio, 5min.
Directed by Ivan Kohan
Argentina, 1930. On the fringes of a decaying society, for destitute souls struggle to survive the cold and hunger of a railway wasteland. Their precarious reality is shattered by the arrival of a stranger who claims to hail from a distant future. Over the course of a night thick with suspicion, these four outcasts are torn between the hope of the impossible and the cynicism of a system that abandoned them. Is the stranger a prophet, or merely the final delirium of their own misery?
