More than one survey says that Argentina is one of the countries with the most psychoanalysts in the world. In this documentary, Kohan investigates like Sherlock Holmes how the work of Enrique Pichon-Rivière influenced this phenomenon. There wouldn’t be so many Woody Allen fans in Argentina if it weren’t for him. The Little Frenchman, as his friends called him, was the one who introduced psychoanalysis in the country. Friends and relatives of the psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, who grew up in the Chaco jungle among pumas and alligators, say that his wild childhood was the concrete with which he built his obsession for deciphering madness. Kohan interviews colleagues, relatives and admirers of Pichon-Rivière’s work in order to turn the monument into a human being.
