Synopsis: The venerable VHS can hold surprises. A strange spell captures the protagonist friends and immerses them unceremoniously in the world of the most unlikely Argentine policemen. An astonishing stream of lost, forgotten and recovered images whose consumption threatens to become addictive.
Long live VHS, that Holy Grail of rawness and plurality that comes and goes between secret messages and Excalibur from another cinephilia. Make no mistake: VHS can be a scam. Frenkel and his gang dodge it: they dress their detective mode, now as armchair and movies to be rewound, and they launch themselves against a horde of Great (moral) Values. With voice over, with photonovelas, with archive, they enjoy and point against morality no matter what their name is, from Discépolo to Rodolfo Ranni. By the way, they fuck you to the millennial YouTube, wetting the ear of classics like Las barra bravas, Los drug addicts and more members of a zombie army made up of films that understand that there is so much more to do with cinema than shouting “Oh, we are dying! “
