On July 18, 1994, young Benjamín Sheinberg begins his first day as a resident doctor at the Hospital de Clínicas, in Buenos Aires, while at the same time a bomb explodes at the AMIA, causing the death of 85 people. Sheinberg is overwhelmed by the situation that affects him beyond his professional level and decides to go to Israel. There, with the help of Rubén, an old friend of his grandfather, he will “travel” in time, entering the ancient history of Israel, seeing himself reflected in the ancient character Jacob. But what connection is there between both characters?
The story is centered on the human drama of three young people from a small town in Traslasierra, Córdoba, who from very different ideological places, are forever transformed by the war in Malvinas Argentinas (Falkland Islands).
Each love story in the film takes us to a different past, from a different present. The hope for a bright future is an illusion that keeps us expecting, as it unleashes the anguish of waiting for something extraordinary to happen. In this strange time, shaped by memory pieces and by what could have happened but didn’t, is where the characters of the film inhabit, awaiting the arrival of the future. The storyteller in “In the Future” is a ghost. My ghost.
