Rerum Novarum

About This Movie

Rerum Novarum is a poignant exploration of memory and identity, set against the backdrop of a factory town near Luján. The film gives voice to the band formed by former workers of the Flandria cotton plant, a community that continues to play music even after the factory has closed its doors. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia and a sense of loss, yet it also brims with the raw passion of these musicians who cling to their roots. Their performances are not just about music; they're about preserving a piece of history and a way of life. The documentary weaves in themes of resilience and social change, creating a unique blend of documentary and drama that feels deeply personal and socially relevant.
