The construction of a hydroelectric dam disrupts the quiet life of the place, and the inhabitants are forced to move to a newly built precarious neighborhood on the outskirts. The Zuckers, a multi-ethnic and traditional family, are torn between migrating to Brazil in search of a better future, or staying near their village where their neighbors have already settled.Photo: Courtesy of the press“The film dialogues between fiction and documentary. I wrote the script based on talks I had with different residents of the area about the ‘Garabí – Panambí’ hydroelectric project between Argentina and Brazil,” the director said in a press release. Then he added: “In all the stories there was the uncertainty of not knowing where they were going to live and the fear of losing everything. I remember the first time I went to Panambí, where we finally filmed the film, the locals told me that their houses were going to be 11 meters underwater. That image struck me, and that’s how I decided to make ‘La crecida.'”
