Eleonora Wexler plays Graciela, a mother desperately searching for her 16-year-old daughter, a victim of a women trafficking organization.
Then he details: “Invisible Stories” tells in parallel the story – based on real events – of two kidnappings of two girls. who end up being victims of human trafficking and everyone who moves around, from the impunity and protection that this environment has to the way it shakes families.
Wexler plays Graciela, the mother of a 16-year-old middle-class girl. who – from one moment to the next – is kidnapped and taken to a brothel. Graciela begins a desperate search for her daughter to confront a world that is in front of everyone but no one wants to look. “That’s what the film is for, to show the problem,” says the actress.
-I understand that, in some way, you had to protect yourself emotionally to play this character.
-Yes, because I am the mother of a young daughter -Miranda, 20 years old- and every actress seeks to understand the person and the character to tell the story well. But it is such a strong theme, so distressing, that the whole time I had to get into the story and get out (the actress describes the moment after the end of each scene with a deep, quick and desperate breath of air, like someone who has been time underwater) and realize that this can happen to anyone.
The film has the particularity of having been financed with capital from the United States, the INCAA and the Government of Mendoza, including several municipalities. In times when there is so much discussion about whether state agencies should provide money for cultural products, it seems to be a good formula. “I suppose yes, it works, but when there is so much discussion about the role of the state and whether the INCAA should exist or not, there comes a time when I don’t know what to think,” Wexler clarifies.

Audiovisual productions are experiencing times of change. “Soap operas do not have the space on television that has been left for entertainment programs and sporting events,” analyzes Wexler. However, the actress is filming “a soap opera” as she herself defines it.
The “soap opera” is called “La Bastarda”, it has 22 chapters and can be seen next year on the Disney + platform. María Eugenia “China” Suárez, Diego Cremonesi, Mónica Raiola and Carlos Belloso are some of the names that will be part of this “popular” production.
About this work Wexler explains: “La Bastarda is written by Leo Calderone, it is not a series, it has a format more similar to that of soap operas, but it can be seen on Disney + and it will be quite an experiment that, we hope, turns out well, because in this way it is possible that the door will be opened to more productions of this type and there will be more development and work for cultural bets.”
