Bizarrofilia
Argentina is a country with an extensive and varied cinematography. Within this enormity, there is a rare, atypical… bizarre cinema.

For mysterious reasons, two watchmen are made to guard access to the river in an area of Lausanne where retirees and immigrant families live. Through the different people they encounter, a territory takes shape and a friendship is born. Tizian Büchi creates a fable—part documentary, part fiction and tinged with magical realism—to subtly question our surveillance society.
