Composed of intimate and fragmented moments of animals and careers in a community of zoos and animal rescue centers across Argentina, Collective Monologue explores the beings that continue to inhabit these polemic institutions. Zookeeper Maca dedicates both night and day to the captive animals. She has been caring for them for over twenty years in a mutual bond that moves beyond imagined boundaries, dissolving the power relationship between human-animal.
