Argentinian author and director Mariano Pensotti subtly and movingly exploits the theatrical machine of illusions. In Los Años, he creates a home for his characters in a theatrical split screen between the worlds of theatre and film. The plot is set in the present day, as well as 30 years later. In a curiously funny and tragically sad way, it tells the story of two stages in the life of a documentary filmmaker from Buenos Aires. In 2021, he achieves a professional breakthrough with a socially committed film portrait about a boy from a poor district. Then in 2051 his attempts to re-establish and continue his relationships with the people and places from the past fail. Both on the level of biographical hope and social utopia, "Los Años" speaks of the fatal difference between what we think we are becoming and what we really become.
