The dream of Grisel

10.0 2025 | 7 min

Grisel reminisces about her youth through the transformative experience of participating in an independent Argentine film in the 1970s, based on Cortázar's short story "End of the Game." From a set that recreates her memories, Grisel shares objects, letters, and family mementos she still cherishes, and evokes the emotion of playing Leticia, the central character in that now-lost film. Through archival footage and set reconstructions, the documentary explores nostalgia, the passage of time, and the indelible mark that cinema leaves on those who experience it.
