Milagros Mumenthaler was born in Argentina in 1977. She left the country at an early age for Switzerland, where she grew up. She directed four short films, which were selected and awarded at numerous festivals. In 2011, she directed Abrir puertas y ventanas, her first feature film, which was selected for the Cinéfondation, the Cannes Film Festival residency. The film received several awards, including the Golden Leopard and the Leopard for Best Actress at the Locarno Film Festival, as well as the Astor de Oro at the Mar del Plata Film Festival. Her second film, La idea de un lago, was presented in competition at the Locarno, Busan, San Sebastian, and Rotterdam film festivals. «Las Corrientes» is her 3rd film.
At the height of her career, Lina, a 34-year-old Argentine stylist, is driven by a sudden impulse after an award ceremony in Switzerland. Back in Buenos Aires, she says nothing, but something in her has shifted - quiet and invisible, it subtly unravels a past she thought she had left behind.
