Rapsodia Contiana is a rhapsody. It is a documentary interspersed with fiction.

It was conceived to commemorate the 100th birthday of writer Haroldo Conti.
It is a series of interrelated episodes that will introduce us to him through interviews, fiction taken from his works, and poetic license.

What we are going to see is episode 1, entitled “Apertura,” which is a journey through the emblematic parts of Haroldo Conti's life and work.

Different stories from his short stories run through this documentary: a circus crossing the pampas; a juicy reward for catching Mascaró, the American hunter; a port pension where they dance the waltz as a consummation of love; a clairvoyant glimpses a not very favorable future for Oreste, the magnificent; A true prince finds his apprentice; And the last of men wanders through different cities, enjoying having escaped the life of the former.

A wandering writer who transcended his hometown to become internationally known, not only for his work, but also for his forced disappearance, due to his search for a world with equal conditions for its inhabitants.
