    • Synopsis
    • In the intense 60’s, young filmmaker Manuel Antín meets Julio Cortázar. Their letters cross the Atlantic and Manuel
      shoots three movies based on stories written by Julio, generating a filmmaking of ideas that breaks the mold of its time.
      An ocean apart, they write together the script for Circe. Cortázar’s letters reveal
      a tension between the writer who advances on the space of the director and the director who tries to elude the winding
      bond between literature and films, while hidden forces in the stories embodied in characters that reached the screen,
      gravitate dangerous and mysteriously.
