Country Clubs or ‘Countries’ are gated communities on the outskirts of Argentina’s cities. Under the watchful eye of the private security firms hired to protect them, the clubs act as an oasis of calm for the Argentine rich. In such an environment people in the ‘Countries’ enjoy an apparently idyllic, safe existence surrounded by tennis courts, football fields, golf courses, polo pitches, shopping facilities and sometimes even private schools. Yet this film shows the dilemma and the inner-struggle of those who were born into a privileged position in a state that fails to provide social amenities, justice or peace for the majority of its people.

Concrete high-rise building area Petržalka - one of the biggest in Europe - has a lot of negative attributes. In general, it is perceived as a prototype of a low-quality acommodation created at the times of socialism. What is the reality like? How are the concrete homes seen by their inhabitants at the beginning of the third millenary? The film attempts to scatch the anthropo-social way of being at this concrete area.
