Movie Synopsis:

As the streets of Buenos Aires fill with dancing women in colorful, swirling skirts and the Festival of Nuestra Señora de Copacabana gets underway, filmmaker Martín Rejtman turns his camera on the celebration to provide the outside world with a glimpse into the immigrant experience in Latin America. This is how the Bolivian community in Argentina celebrates their most cherished patron saint, and now the culturally curious can get a firsthand glimpse of the celebration that traditionally carries on into the early hours of the morning.
