In the fifties, a group of children shot a series of small experimental super-8 films in order to watch them together at some time in the future. In the seventies, these children formed a group of young adults working in the field of performance, theatre and film. Today they are around seventy years old and they get a group of children and young adults to re-enact the films from times gone by.

With great poetic and visual force, the young Argentinean theatre- and film-maker Federico León transforms what sounds like a complex, perhaps even stand-offish theatrical experiment into a sophisticated picture puzzle that allows us to penetrate times and characters, reality and film until, finally, the auditorium itself becomes part of his fiction.

Many Argentinean cinemas still have little stages in front of the screen; a remnant from the fifties when they were used for short live acts of a wide range of different – often unemployed – variety artists (from Flamenco dancers to magicians to organists or dog trainers) before the film itself was shown: A policy of the Peronist government to allow artists to earn a living.

León uses these acts as the starting point of a story of three periods in the lives of two women and a man, shown simultaneously on stage: “Me in the future” is an astonishing generation mirror game with how the past impacts on the present and how the present re-invents the past.
