This is the first film product of the
Superior School of Cinema of Buenos Aires.
It's objective is essentially pedagogic.
The young students. More than looking for
a job hope, they go thru the main
door to arrive to the magical and
wonderful movie making world.
The subway is without a doubt,
a symbol of these times.
A labyrinth where in
silence we cross each other,
without knowing who
nor where they're going.
Hundreds of routes,
on which we take advantage to establish
a balance, to re-look a situation,
and try to ride more than a train,
a change of life...
It's a strange game,
on which we submerge
ourselves in infinite tunnels
without realizing that in each transfer
we're definitively changing our destiny
With the subway I found the
most powerful machine to look,
but I've never imagined what will
happen to me in the near future.

MOEBIUS:
Attention garage! This is Bolivar!
Copy me, garage!
Can someone answer me?!
This is garage, Bolivar, I copy you.
I received a call from "Plaza Italia", we're
late and with overflow. Send another "comboy"!
You copied that?
I've sent everything, Bolivar.
What do you mean everything?
I sent the last car a while
ago, I have nothing here... huh.
What?! That can't be. You
should have more trains!
You should have at least one more.
- I have nothing!
- Well, okay. I'll see where I can find another one.
But you check your list. You may be having one
more in your sector, and you haven't noticed.
Understood?
Listen Bolivar, I repeat, I
have nothing to check in here.
Why are you telling me that? Do you know you're
talking to your boss, dammit!? Understood!
"Route 2"
Yes, this is Juan Vega.
I don't understand.
What did you lost?
- Now what?
- And we keep on going straight?
Straight to the right,
or straight to the left
If you don't pay attention,
we'll stay here all night.
- Which way should I take, boss?
- Well... can't you see we can't move?
Well, if it's because of the
lights, we ain't going no where
Besides, there are a lot out of order
What you talking about?
Hello? Please put me through the CEO
Sir?
Vega, I hope you have a good
reason to made me come down here.
I was expecting you.
You can't imagine how
well I feel here, Pratt.
Taking some fresh air.
I can't stand the closed
feeling of the office
I feel like taking one of these routes and never
coming back to this city, that why I make them
If I ask to any of the architects
this, they'll think I just gave up.
And I...
I don't want to go back top the subway
thing just because some nut got the idea.
This work for me is done.
Yes but I, I don't know how can I help
you. I didn't participate in this project,
and I'm not even an architect.
I don't need an architect.
Besides, no one wants to go
back down there, it's very hot.
I called you 'cause I know you like problems. In
fact, you dedicated yourself to math, isn't it?
- Topology
- Ah! The fascination for the analysis of surfaces,
one formula, one calculation
and you keep it in a book.
It seems to weird to me... Like those expositions
that CEO of the subway does... that Blazi.
Go and see what is happening to
him. That way I can be more calmed.
Maybe you'll find that
crazy nut interesting.
Although I doubt it, Anyways, I don't want to
tire you more. When we finished the perimetral
construction, everything was okay
and we were done. Now they have flaws.
One more thing, just in case... The original
planes are in the public works archive.
Ours are an identical copy
from those approved a year ago.
But that's just a detail, actually
I don't know what they want.
But if it's Blazi, it can
be just about anything.
Anyways, please don't
look for me for nothing
- What's that for?
- I don't know
They told me it
potentials the perception.
Resolve it.
Oh! And tell Blazi I went
far, far away, by the highway.
I assure you we're doing what we can.
But you can imagine that I cannot look
thru all the network for just a supposition.
Well, you know how the kids
are, they just love the subway.
Ma'am, 5 million people
pass by here everyday.
I'm sorry, it's your responsibility. If you
don't know where he is, it's your problem.
- Mr. Blazi, someone of the construction arrived
- Let him in...
Yes ma'am, I understand,
huh... excuse me ma'am...
You know... I have things to do, ma'am.
Come in!
- Sir...
- Daniel Brat.
Excuse my amazement, but I was
expecting my old friend Beker.
He might arrive later,
'cause I told him I needed him
No, you see, Mr. Beker had to leave town
in a hurry, and asked me to replace him.
He might be nuts, as if
this is just bullshit...
I asked him not lo
leave me alone in this
He gave me all the instructions, so
I can resolve anything you might need.
How would you help me if you don't have
the slightest idea of what's this all about?
He should have called
Beker, thinks these are beginners stuff
I'm topologist, a mathematician.
What is that good for?
It's a branch of mathematics which studies
surfaces and converts them into formulas.
So useful for my nerves. This is it!
...look go to the office and tell...
Mr. Blazi
What's going on today that
nobody asks permission?!
It's happening again...
Come.
I need you to pay attention.
I want you to look everything that's going
on, so you can tell Beker this isn't bullshit.
If I called him is not because I'm
hysteric, but I have a reason to call him.
Of course, I'm going to ask you have caution
and discretion with everything you hear or see.
Don't go around telling
anyone, you know how this is...
Then, anything can be published at the
newspaper and find myself implicated in nothing.
Imagine that, a man like me
cannot neglect those details.
What? That one doesn't
work either? Fix it at once.
Millions of people are being transported in
these tunnels daily, you cannot control everyone.
Look, if someone plants a bomb.
What face do you want us to put, huh?
Everything that happens here
inside is my responsibility.
Imagine that being the CEO of this place
isn't easy. This is a very difficult situation.
Sir, we have train 101 coming from
Ezeiza, stopped at the access tunnel.
I already gave it the passing order. It's
blocking two levels and they refuse to go on.
Communication open to 101.
Intern 101, this is the CEO.
What's going on that
you refuse to advance?
From red it went to green and from green
it went to red, I cannot take that risk,
How do I know there's no other
train coming from the other side?
The pass is blocked.
That's a negative,
Yes, no sir, but you know
it's forbidden. If we crash...
Advance 101, I repeat, the pass is free
- But listen to me, I don't...
- Keep on going, I order you!
- I can't...
- Move!
If this keeps on like that, we will be forced
