Biopic of Ceferino Namuncurá (1886-1905), son of a Mapuche cacique and a white woman, and the first Indian of South America to be beatified. The film starts out as a war movie, showing his father Manuel battling the Spanish and taking a white woman as his captive bride. But little of interest happens after Ceferino is born. His beatification relies partly on his "miraculous" survival after falling in a stream as a baby, but the film does not present this with any great drama, and plods through the rest of the boy's life with similar tepor. Ceferino does well in school, attracts the interest of a priest, attends a Catholic school in Buenos Aires, and studies for the priesthood in Italy, where he dies of tuberculosis after a few unconvincing coughs.

Movie8.5DramaHistoryEl Grito Sagrado (The Silent Call) is a fictionalized retelling of Argentina's fight for independence from Spain. The story is "personalized" by being related through the eyes of Mariquita Sanchez de Thompson y Mendeville, played by popular Latin American leading lady Fanny Navarro. Rebelling against the cozy traditionalism of her family, Mariquita weds tireless patriot Martin Thompson (Carlos Cores). She remains by her husband's side as he helps to fend off a British invasion and to achieve freedom for the Argentine slave population. Oddly, the principal villains in the film are the British, a reflection perhaps of Argentine dictator Juan Peron's ongoing efforts to curry favor with Spain.

Movie7.4DramaRomanceThree different love-related stories -all starring María Vaner as different "Anas". In "The Earth," Ana is a young and idealistic woman on the verge of adulthood when her first relationship with a clerk shatters her dreams of a romantic life. In "The Air," Ana is a rebellious, easy-living type among some beach bums whose sexual leanings tend to tip the scale at active promiscuity. In "The Cloud," Ana only exists in the imagination of an introverted man, who dreams of his ideal woman.

Movie10.0FamilyFantasyThe son of a businessman neglected by his father and orphaned by a mother, goes to a group of friends. A typical gang of humble neighborhood boys, led by Chirola. The history of this gang is ruled by two magical characters, El Hada de la Esperanza represented by Liliana Rodríguez Morlino and El Pombero, a typical Formosan character-legend, played by Jaime Cohen. Through these boys the life of the social classes of the time is reflected, the innocence of the boys apart from those values and what children are capable of when they decide to transform things. During the story, the typical life of the province in which it was filmed, Formosa, and the daily life of the neighborhoods of the capital city that used to be a commercial port with Paraguay are highlighted.
