Las fuerzas

Paola Buontempo

Bodies that complement one another; a small body that must not grow, possessed of a latent fragility, always on the verge of breaking. Las fuerzas (The forces) is an observational documentary following the final training sessions of a group of jockeys before their grand debut at the La Plata hippodrome.

Synopsis: Las fuerzas records the apprenticeship of a group of jockeys. Operating under a school-like logic, with methods and evaluations similar to any other type of learning, the primary subject to be molded is the body.
