8 Weeks

Behind the curtains of a stage musical, based in the songs of Raffaella Carrá, a group of human beings comes and goes The characters driving the story are funny and tragic: the neurotic stage director, the "diva-style" leading actor, the drunk acting coach, a dancer (and compulsive drama queen), two actress who hate each other on stage and in real life, a pathetic Don Juan and some other few who live in the crazy world of the movie. 8 weeks is the first Argentinean Musical Documentary, mixing comedy, fiction and mockumentary Every show mirrors what's left behind curtains and everything happening behind curtains could be a show as well. You shouldn't believe everything you see and, at the same time, all you see is true. 8 weeks is a movie shot during a season of a real Musical and takes shape as a movie when it makes "the idea of representation" the main topic of its own matter, exposing the delicate balance between reality and representation
