The Private Life of Plants
Without plants, there would be no food, no animals of any sort, no life on earth at all. Yet for most of the time their lives remain a secret to us, hidden, private events.The reason is merely a difference of time. Plants live on a different time-scale from ours. Though not obviously to the naked eye, they are constantly on the move: developing, fighting, avoiding or exploiting predators or neighbours, struggling to find food, to increase their territories, to reproduce themselves, to find and hold a place in the sun. We only need to learn to look.

A Day in the Life
This film did not make it past the editing process in 1953. It was released four decades later in 1993. Although specialists do not agree on the reason, it's likely that the movie's bitter tone and deviation from the dominant, uplifting DivEdCo narrative were the main reasons. Notable for its portrayal of "El Fanguito," a San Juan urban slum, and of country-city emigration at the dawn of Operation Bootstrap.
