After the death of Argentine director Eva Landeck at the age of 98, her daughter Irene Morak, an actress in her films, dismantles her mother's department, leading to the encounter and rediscovery of her films considered lost. 'People in Buenos Aires' is her most remembered film, but only for the few who know it. Pablo Spatola's documentary is a reluctant biography and a dispensary of archive images that belong to another world. The sixties, Landeck's obstinacy for a true cinema, without embellishments or reconciliation, the record of a world that was not seen as a tourist promotion brochure."
