"How silly it's been growing up". (SCRIPT BY ROLY SANTOS)
The story we would like to tell you.
ideological aspect:
Our ambition is to tell a story about the generation of argentinean youth that are between 30 and 40 years old. They're adolescents during the democracy of the '70's- decade that augured a revolutionary transformation- toward the left- of the Latin American societies. But they couldn't be integrated to that social change movement because a Dictatorship was established violently and they're too young for the violent confront against the military regiment. Them they became into simple spectators of the annihilate previous generation dreams.
They're the "sons of the dictatorship," they lived the end of the "spring" and were frightened by sanguinary brutality of the militar "winter". - How do the youth feel today after having lived the last decade in a democratic society, without military but also utopia?.
We'd like to describe the drift of this generation, where the blame, the confusion and the need of continuing surviving in a competitive society makes a cocktail of characteristic behaviours of our country generation. The story won't judge the characters conducts, but will try to show how they live, feels and acts today.
dramatic aspect:
It's about a story where three characters will test their feelings and their principles. We'll try to show characters that are going by false limits with are between the rational and the sensitive conduct. In order to describe these two aspects we've chosen a script structure with a double scheme. A main scheme with "intrigue" gender characteristics that arises from a real case occurred in Argentina in the '80s. An American veterinary laboratory developed an animal vaccine against the rabies made with an artificial virus. The vaccine experimentation was applied in a rural zone and put in danger the health of the people that live there. A resercher that participated in the experiment discovered that in fact they're testing the grade of infection that causes the vaccine in the people. The topic was title in the newspapers and determined that the American laboratory had decided to settle in Argentina because health controls didn't exist, allowing to condense the long processes test and be ahead to the French competitors. Finally the project was dismantled but many villagers continue today suffering today the illnesses infected by that cruel experience. It' was also knew that the war between the American and French laboratory was solved with an alliance between both. It's also necessary to say in spite of having experimented a vaccine against the rabies, this illness was eradicated from Argentina since a long time ago, what ends confirming that they had used the people as "indian rabbits".
The sub-plot of the story will describe the feelings of the three characters that are emotionally engaged with the previous story. It's a triangle where two men and a woman have had a crossed friendship during their student times and now they meet after 15 years.
Upon being seen involved with the previous story they'll act conditioned by what that triangle was in the past and for what they have really become in the present. The passage between each both scheme will try to discover the conflicts, successes and mistakes of a generation that was knew in Argentina as "the sons the process." A generation that wasn't revolutionary neither reactionary, "a Neither generation", and this is -of course- the generation to which the author belongs.
(Sinopsis)
This is the story of a man who is always testing himself. Unable to find a balance, he's constantly fighting between thougts and feelings and this makes him impulsive. He's at a turning point. He realizes that his principles have won over his feelings. Decisions are manifested to him as internal discussions, and with each action, a new blame.
He’s unhappy, so in order to change he has decided to give up this lifestyle.
His time has come. Fate offers him the chance to make it, but lays him a trap. To progress, he must go back to the past, to his home-town from where he left "looking for new horizons".
Once there he'll try to revive an old flame, to experience friendship again. He'll take risks and dare to live with passion. He'll also have to admit that everything has changed and that he's not the same. Heïll be finally urged not only to leave his home-town, but also his country. Once more he has to scape in order to find peace, the departure results his salvation and abroad obtains the wanted welfare. But when everything seems to be all right, he needs to go back.
The story describes a man that's not a hero but sometimes he dares. He's not in a Berthold Brecht's way but sometimes struggles. He wants to watch towards the future and forget the past not being afraid of recalling it.
The character will be never able to know how many of his principles are dyed by his feelings and conversely. But that confusion won't stop him because his only virtue is that, in spite of the turns of life, he has always grown up "taking the bull by the horns", although he continues thinking that's silly to have grown up.
