Synopsis
At the now-closed Flandria cotton plant near Luján, former workers gather to celebrate the 63rd anniversary of their music band. These musicians, who once earned salaries comparable to bank managers, reflect on their past and the fading traditional values in their community. They perform 'Oh, María' in honor of 'Our Lady of Luján', while revisiting the factory that once provided thousands of jobs. The documentary captures their struggle to maintain identity amid economic crisis and social disintegration.
