In her new film Streets of Memory, a group of foreign students attending a documentary workshop in Buenos Aires is asked to explore one of the most recent and visible ways of publicly representing memory: flagstones on the sidewalks of many neighborhoods in the city with names of men and women who were disappeared during the infamous 1976-1983 military dictatorship. So they first get to know the people who make the flagstones, that is to say who they are, where they come from, and what their particular stories are. At the same time, the process of making the flagstones is also being registered.
