En el norte de La Pampa (Arg.) existió un pueblo que hoy yace tapado por la soja. Su vida se cortó abruptamente en 1912, y muy poco sobrevivió de él en la memoria de los pobladores de la zona. Hace 4 años, los chicos de una escuela rural descubrieron que algo brillaba en la llanura. Eran miles de fragmentos desparramados y removidos por el arado. "Miró" excava en ese pasado oculto e inasible. 110 años después, algo pulsa por emerger bajo un horizonte de planicies infinitas.

North of La Pampa province, at the center of Argentina. There, now covered by soya crops, a town once existed. Its life ended in 1912 and nothing survived, even in the memories of people who lived nearby. Four years ago, a group of schoolchildren who were picknicking near an abandoned train station found something that was shining on the dust: the plough had unearthed many fragments of that town. “Miró. Traces of oblivion” starts with the obstination of the filmmaker to bring this story into light; to dig into that past- somewhat obscure and elusive. 110 years after, something is trying to emerge from that landscape of infinite plains.
