La Quimera de Los Héroes
The Chimera of Heroes
Direção: Daniel Rosenfeld
Argentina / França / Dinamarca, 2003, 70’, DVD

In the middle of the Argentinean jungle, a white man is the great leader of a group of tobas, aborigines socially excluded and far from civilization. This man teaches them how to play rugby, the famous English sport created in the XIX century, and also how to defend their honor, dignity, and rights. It’s when the Aborigine Rugby Club is formed. Parallely, the past of this charismatic teacher connects him to extreme ideologies. An adventure related to the conscience of a man.
