Inspired by the short stories of Julio Cortázar, yet blended with the realities of contemporary Argentina, Wind in our Hair (Con viento en el pelo) is an experimental narrative about four girls discovering themselves through a fascination with the trains that pass by their house. A story of early-teen anticipation and disappointment, the film is shot in Buenos Aires and circumscribed by a period of profound political and social unrest. Using a bilingual soundtrack, Lynne Sachs and her collaborator, Puerto Rican filmmaker Sofía Gallisá, articulate this atmosphere of urban turmoil spinning about the young girls' lives. Wind in our Hair also includes the daring, ethereal music of Argentine singer Juana Molina.
