In 2001 Argentina faced its most severe financial crisis. Ten years have passed since that dramatic event, yet many wounds are still fresh. Many people, as a matter of fact, have lost their jobs and their savings, but it is in times of crisis that man rediscovers the art of getting by, and it is in this way that many have made a business out of trash, others have managed to re-launch enterprises which were destined to bankruptcy, and others are yet boosting the education system and moreover the publishing sector. A journey up to the end of the night in Buenos Aires, to tell the story of the people who started all over again from scratch, without forgetting the ones who are still living hard times, perhaps lost in the tunnel of Paco, a drug as devastating as it is cheap, to the point to be nicknamed the “drug of poor”.
