Synopse

DOCUMENTARY People come and go at a bus station in Argentina. Like a kaleidoskope, the film offers fragmentary views of the place, a cinematic experience of light and shade. A bus station in the North of Córdoba stands in darkness. Waiting, the arrivals and departures of the local bus routes dictate the rhythm of the workers and travellers. A place of transit, where the traces of the people who populate it echo and fade, and the mysterious rubs shoulders with the everyday. Voices overlayer the pictures – creating stories of encounters and farewells.
