Minuet

In 1810 in Buenos Aires, the revolution is at its height, fuelled by Rousseau’s ideas. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, in the south of the country, a rain of ash disrupts a French expedition and a young woman, Marie Archange is left behind. All alone, in her head she hears Rousseau’s minuet in G Minor, which gives her the strength she needs to continue on her way. –Locarno Film Festival
