(In)Voluntary Retirements
🇫🇷 France 🇦🇷 Argentina The 2000sOn July 2nd, 2008, at five thirty in the afternoon, a 53-year-old man called Jean-Michel was run over by a train in Saint-Lyé, a town with a population of 3,000 located in the east of France. No one knew whether it was a suicide or an accident. The director investigates around the town, asks different inhabitants what they think of that tragedy. For many people, Jean-Michel had killed himself, after amassing too many worries and problems; the more the voiceover asks, the more mysterious it all gets. But there is a detail from Jean-Michel’s life that connects him to Argentina—he had been an employee at a phone company until a privatization left him without a job. (In)Voluntary Retirements is a documentary that shows how the kinship between Argentina’s politics in the ‘90s and France’s twenty years later damaged the lives of so many people.

How much of relevance is the rock in this adventure of living in real democracy is difficult to estimate, but rock denounced, rock was containment, rock was a source of pride. Rock is culture and had a house where it developed, CEMENTO. We make CEMENTO - The Documentary - because we think that a people that forgets its milestones is a people destined to fail. We want to reflect in audiovisual format what CEMENT was, its origins, its facilities, the public opinion, its anecdotes and its imprint in the culture, narrated by musicians, producers and workers who gave it life.
