Yrupē

Logline
The search for a lost film by Guillermo Fernández-Zúñiga (1909-2005), a Spanish pioneer of scientific filmmaking who was exiled in Argentina after the Spanish Civil War, triggers a journey into family histories and national archives.

As we witness the slow growth of the Yrupē plant, images and silences emerge, revealing layers of historical concealment and censorship.
