At the end of the 80s, two abandoned buildings on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the 'truquito' and the 'maroma' area, were occupied by a group of young artists, mostly immigrants, who renovated them and turned them into a car home. -sustainable outside the state, at least for two decades. Catalina Santamaría gathers records from different sources, supports and data to compile the chronicle of the transformation of Puerta 10 and Umbrella House based on the stories of their singular protagonists . Part of the material used corresponds to a video file recorded by them in the process of adapting the buildings in order to make a documentary, perhaps that of a community that with its hands builds a house to inhabit it in its own way. This homage film welcomes that desire by adding the reverse of the difficulties that a collective utopia entails , the fragility in the face of time and the haunting of the system.
