Stories from the big city

Documentary

José Muñoz was just a promising young artist when he was called to work with other artists in the series of Buenos Aires comic strips "Cuentos de la ciudad grande" that Héctor G. Oesterheld wrote for the magazine Hora Cero Extra. Sixty years later, from his residence in Milan, already consecrated as one of the most important figures of the international graphic media, Muñoz will travel to Buenos Aires with the personal project of re-drawing that mythical strip from 1960. Genial and charismatic, the last master of a golden generation will once again look at the city he immortalized in his cartoons. An ever-changing and revealing city that will make him meet again with his old colleagues and with a new and thriving generation of cartoonists and scriptwriters. From his drawings, he will reconstruct the fragments of his youth in those "porteño" sixties. Captured by a black notebook, they will open a gap in time and describe their drift through the remembered city, following the trail of the absent and trying to solve the mystery of a past full of questions.
