Synopsis "Prisionera de la Libertad / Prisoner of Freedom"

Tres jóvenes huyen de una vida sin futuro ni esperanza en Europa y tratan de abrirse camino en el violento y corrupto Buenos Aires de 1913. Raquel, cuya mirada se oculta tras un flequillo de rizos oscuros, sueña con trabajar en una librería aunque a las muchachas de su pueblo, sepulto bajo la nieve de la estepa rusa, no se les permite ni siquiera aprender a leer. Rosetta ha heredado un pedazo de tierra que intenta trabajar sola, pero tiene que sufrir a diario los ataques y las vejaciones de sus vecinos, convencidos de que una mujer no puede vivir sin un marido. Y Rocco, hijo de un hombre de honor, está destinado a seguir su mismo camino y convertirse a su vez en un mafioso. Los tres jóvenes saben que escapar es la única opción para ser libres: huir lo más lejos posible, al otro lado del océano. Pero cuando llegan a Buenos Aires, llenos de esperanza, comprenden que Argentina es tierra de nadie y que, para sobrevivir, los emigrantes tienen que aceptar lo inconcebible y las mujeres, en una ciudad llena de hombres solos y sin escrúpulos, deben pagar el precio más alto. Además, entre los gritos del puerto y las callejuelas de los barrios se esconden los peligros y fantasmas del pasado. Pero Raquel, Rocco y Rosetta están dispuestos a todo para salvarse y vivir sin miedo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Three young people flee from a life with no future or hope in Europe and try to make their way in the violent and corrupt city of Buenos Aires in 1913. Raquel, whose gaze is hidden behind a fringe of dark curls, dreams of working in a bookstore although the girls from her village, buried under the snow of the Russian steppe, are not even allowed to learn to read. Rosetta has inherited a piece of land that she tries to work alone, but she suffers daily attacks and humiliations from her neighbors, convinced that a woman cannot live without a husband. And Rocco, the son of a man of honor, is destined to follow in his footsteps and become a mobster himself. These three young people know that escape is the only way they'll be free: flee as far as possible, to the other side of the ocean. But when they arrive in Buenos Aires, full of hope, they soon learn that Argentina is a no man's land and that, to survive, migrants have to accept the inconceivable and women, in a city full of lonely and unscrupulous men, must pay an even higher price. Furthermore, between the raucous port and neighborhood streets the dangers and ghosts of the past hide. But Raquel, Rocco, and Rosetta are willing to do anything to save themselves and live a life without fear.
