Taste Of The Fields

A mysterious and deadly plague falls on the poor people of an Argentinian village. Bernardo, a reckless but obstinate teen, refuses to believe that such a plague exist. Only when his girlfriend Camilla gets sick Bernardo begins to wonder where the truth lies. Doubtful until she is urgently brought to the hospital, Bernardo eventually listens to the truth: what kills everyone isn't a plague, but the effects of a compulsive overuse of pesticides on the fields.
Resembling a horror film at first, the story slowly reveals a political drama, with a clear statement against the overuse of chemicals in South America.
Taste Of The Fields was a short film project I started to develop with the help of an executive producer, bakc in the UK. The pre-production stopped due to both the COVID-19 pandemic and the difficult political situation in Argentina in 2020.
Since then Taste Of The Fields back to the shelf. But a new one emerged this year.
