Production notes: 

KL audiovisual was born in Córdoba, Argentina, in 2008, to incorporate a team of emerging professionals within the framework of independent cinema which is developing in the country. The main artistic proposition comes from its members' work, and bets on local talents and on the search for an indentiy able to develop and encourage te cinematographic creation. We essentially bet on the auteur cinema.
