Synopsis: 

Argentinian Lesson with its visual aesthetics, its rhythm and composition parallels a narration of a fiction film. This is an intimate story of friendship between two kids from completely different worlds. 8-years old Janek comes to an abandoned village in north Argentina where his mother is supposed to be a teacher. Janek is following his new friend, Marcia, who fights alone through family crisis, mother’s mental disease and father’s absence. Working on yerba plantations and brick factory, he enters the fascinating world of child fantasy, and is introduced to the bitterness of a childhood prematurely contaminated with the problems of the grown-ups.
