Bufones de la risastencia

On carnival night, a coven of Jesters emerges from the shadows. They come to make you uncomfortable, to cause chaos, to turn the world upside down. They come to show you the beauty that hides the ugly, and the ugliness that nests in what you accept as beautiful. Their weapons are laughter, satire, the grotesque, sarcasm... They come to wake you up, to reveal what you are trying to hide, to question your ideal world, alone, so alone, to awaken consciences. And when you think that the carnival ended, in the least expected moment, there, in front of you, as real as you, is the Jester laughing in your face.

The Crisis Caused 2 New Deaths

What happened, really, on June 26th, 2002 at the Pueyrredón Bridge cut? How do the newsrooms of the main newspapers in the country work? Why didn't the media publish the photographic sequence after the repression? How far does journalists' responsibility go? Through these questions, the film reconstructs and analyzes the events that occurred in the Avellaneda Massacre, the government's political bosses, and the documentation of the information by the mainstream media.
