La plaza

Sinopsis Film

In the small town square of the small Andean city of Merida, Venezuela, there is a singular combat between space and time, from which the only way out is by having written a mythical pact between the synchronic and the diachronic; ethnographic cinema knows these contradictions very well, between good form and good content, between seeing and saying, which transforms the qualitative of a gaze into a necessarily quantitative measure. This film is about a square, but it is also about the problems involved in describing spaces that have become sites.
