Present: Fluctuat Nec Mergitur

A documentary by: Santiago Álvaro – David Bressan – Martín Virgili

Every house has its secret

Saturday, August 2, 8:00 pm, Museo MAR

The documentary focuses on the little-known “Casa Francesa” in the port of Mar del Plata, a century-old building located at 12 de Octubre and Av. de los Trabajadores. The house is a nerve center in the construction of the port, and at the same time a space where many strands of the city’s unofficial history converge. Its stone walls hold countless events, stories, experiences, rises and falls. Artists, sailors, prostitutes, engineers, workers, and magnates populate its more than one hundred years of history.
