The dream of Grisel

El sueño de Grisel

Grisel reminisces about her youth through the transformative experience of participating in an independent Argentine film in the 1970s, based on Cortázar's short story "End of the Game." From a set that recreates her memories, Grisel shares objects, letters, and family mementos she still cherishes, and evokes the emotion of playing Leticia, the central character in that now-lost film. Through archival footage and set reconstructions, the documentary explores nostalgia, the passage of time, and the indelible mark that cinema leaves on those who experience it.
