In the streets of a 2023 decembered Buenos Aires’ Microcentro in Argentina, a group of 40 characters wearing T-shirts with axioms printed on them move in a strange choreography scattered in five long shots. The camera moves through the streets, banks and bars, picking up words and arranging meaning as a long poem is composed, the characters appearing and disappearing from the shot as they stand next to each other on the stage which is the street, reorganizing the meaning of what is being evoked and set in motion. Through the arrangement of the characters and the sound that envelops the entire scene and the off-screen, with dialogues that enter, leave and recount personal and collective anecdotes, this film looks at a kind of psychiatric portrait of a post-colonial society obsessed with esotericism, psychoanalysis and the economy of missing institutions. An axiomatic logic that supports a world inspired by the affects of capitalism starts writing the absurd, as it allows us to confront the governamental crisis of the present days. These characters are gradually beginning to wear increasingly complex slogans that are becoming axiomatic: a word on the economic crisis, the psychiatric problems that come along and the general mental health of a nation enter the need for a new revolutionary contraceptive method which starts spreading across the city
