Un lugar en el mundo
- Drama
Mario and Ana, in voluntary exile from Buenos Aires, live in a remote Argentine valley with their 12-year-old son Ernesto. Mario runs a school and a wool cooperative; Ana, a doctor, heads a clinic with Nelda, a progressive nun. Into this idealistic family comes Hans, a jaded Spanish geological engineer -- surveying the land for the local patron, to see if it can be dammed for hydro-electric power, which would drive the peasants from the land into the cities.
A Place in the World is a 1992 Argentine drama following an idealistic family living in self-imposed exile in a remote valley, where their commitment to community and progress is tested when a cynical engineer arrives to survey the land for a hydroelectric dam project. The film explores themes of social responsibility, environmental impact, and personal conviction through the clash between the family's vision and outside commercial interests. Already released, it remains a landmark work of Argentine cinema from the early 1990s.
