- Docile bodies shows the life of the criminal lawyer Alfredo Garcia Kalb. Together with him we will go through the process that takes two marginal young men to face the Argentine Judicial System; the way it works applying penalties and the consequences it will have on them and their family group. We will see how our main character engages in the practice of his profession in such a way that boundaries between allowed and forbidden, personal and professional fields turn blurry. He will question the sense of criminal law nowadays, and observe the tension between freedom and confinement. "Los cuerpos dóciles" muestra la vida del abogado penalista Alfredo Garcia Kalb. Junto a él atravesaremos el proceso que lleva a dos jóvenes marginales a enfrentarse al aparato judicial argentino; como éste opera en la aplicación de la pena y las consecuencias que tendrá sobre ellos y su entorno familiar. Veremos cómo nuestro protagonista ejerce la profesión de un modo tal en el que se tornan difusos los límites entre lo prohibido, lo permitido, lo personal y lo profesional. Cuestionando el sentido del derecho penal en la actualidad, y observando la tensión que existe entre el encierro y la libertad.
- In the early 1990s, Argentine opened its borders to a new stream of immigrants from the former USSR. Most of them knew nothing of the language and culture of the new country which, in turn, did not understand them and did not even know they had arrived. Vladimir, a young Russian man, tries to survive in Buenos Aires, where he feels like a stranger. He has to confront the lack of work, the corruption of Government officials and unfinished projects. He falls in love with a prostitute and spends his nights having sex and drinking vodka with his Russian friend. He naively believes Buenos Aires is his own paradise.
