A woman vanishes. Two men take to the road in search of her: they both love her. Why did she leave? Each one of them has his own suspicions, and hides them from the other one who, mysteriously, never truly becomes his rival. Neither is right – but is anyone?

This sudden run away becomes the hidden core of a number of fictions that the film weaves: the secret of the heart of another woman, lost as well, many years ago; the secret of the life of a village in the countryside, governed by a supernatural incident that nobody seems to perceive; the secret of the plains, which never ceases to spread and devour everything, like the shadows that invade the world after the twilight hour. 

Laura Citarella’s labyrinth of fictions is an enigmatic and liberating mystery that embodies El Pampero Cine’s inventive spirit whilst also forging new and intriguing directions.

'This film is part of a larger idea: a group of films where the same character lives different lives in different towns in the province of Buenos Aires. The first film of the saga is called Ostende and it’s my first film as a director. The character—Laura—is always performed by Laura Paredes. And the director, myself, also Laura. Perhaps too many Lauras.

But what crosses the whole saga is a central idea: a female Sherlock Holmes of sorts lost in towns, keener for adventures than anything else. A film composed by different kind of women. Women who chase women. Female detectives. Female scientists. Women that, for different reasons, run away. The cartographies of books as maps to live. Maternity. The conquest of territory. Men in love. The nobility of some men. The idiocy of the same men. The bureaucracy and the flowers. The town. The humans. The animals. The plants. The unknown.' – Laura Citarella
