La Odisea de Kamatsu 2024

Directed by Sofía López Mañán

Kamatsu is an 80 year old Japanese man who came to Buenos Aires more than five decades ago because he heard that there was a hen that lay green eggs. In a game of expectation and reality, this documentary continually stumbles over its own preconceptions. The initial idea of understanding the migration, identity and tradition of a Japanese migrant derives in the story of some eggs, some notebooks and the authors' search for vision and meaning.
