- DirectorClaire SimonThere is a kind of country, very small, so small that it looks a bit like a theater scene. It is inhabited two or three times a day by its people. The inhabitants are small in size. If they live according to laws, in any case, they do not stop to question them, and to fight violently about it.

- DirectorEduardo de la SernaLucas MarcheggianoAdriana YurcovichStarsDaniel BurmeisterMeet Daniel Burmeister, the most prolific filmmaker you've never heard of. Armed with a camera, a lamp for night shoots, and enough charm to persuade entire towns to join in on his dreams, this tireless, jolly DIY veteran rolls in his beat up old car from one backwater Argentine town to another, where, in exchange for room and board, he turns out a feature film in 30 days. Adapting one of his ready-made scripts to each town, he temporarily transforms these sleepy villages into bustling back lots and the bored populace into avid performers. Coupling high energy with irresistible salesmanship, Burmeister keeps in constant motion. It took the combined efforts of three filmmakers to keep up with him, and their camera is there to capture his every move, recording his reflections on life, his recollections of his past, and his remarkable ability to solve a host of on-set mishaps. From the first call of "Action" to the "world" premiere of each village production, The Peddler is a delightful documentary valentine to the magic of moviemaking.
- DirectorLupe Pérez García"I have a problem. I could never tell my left from my right."

With a great sense of burlesque, she starts a personnel journey along with her mother and step-father into Argentina's chaotic history which is surely at the origin of her difficulties of orientation.
