Hermia & Helena Matías Piñeiro

Camila (Agustina Muñoz), an Argentinian woman around 30 years of age, receives a grant to go to New York for a year to translate Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" into Spanish, although she's hesitant to leave her boyfriend, friends, and pregnant sister behind in Buenos Aires. She takes over the apartment and acquaintances of her predecessor Carmen (María Villar) in wintry New York and encounters variously a woman (Mati Diop) who writes mysterious postcards, an old lover and a new one, and, in a magnificently directed scene, the father she never knew. Piñeiro's first film to be shot outside of Argentina and in English jumps back and forth between New York and the day Camila leaves Buenos Aires and operates with artful dissolves, intertitles, ragtime music, and a touch of both Rivette and Rohmer.

Die junge argentinische Theaterregisseurin Camila reist nach New York, um dort im Rahmen einer Residency an einer spanischen Übersetzung von Shakespeares „A Midsummer Night’s Dream“ zu arbeiten. Doch als sie ankommt, erreicht sie eine Serie mysteriöser Postkarten. Es beginnt eine Reise durch ihre Vergangenheit und Zukunft.
