Behind the curtains of a stage musical, based in the songs of Raffaella Carrá, a group of human beings comes and goes The characters driving the story are funny and tragic: the neurotic stage director, the "diva-style" leading actor, the drunk acting coach, a dancer (and compulsive drama queen), two actress who hate each other on stage and in real life, a pathetic Don Juan and some other few who live in the crazy world of the movie.8 weeks is the first Argentinean Musical Documentary, mixing comedy, fiction and mockumentary Every show mirrors what's left behind curtains and everything happening behind curtains could be a show as well. You shouldn't believe everything you see and, at the same time, all you see is true. 8 weeks is a movie shot during a season of a real Musical and takes shape as a movie when it makes "the idea of representation" the main topic of its own matter, exposing the delicate balance between reality and representation
