Un fueguito: la historia de César Milstein (Ana Fraile, 2009)

From the passion for filmmaking and César Milstein’s passion for science and art merged the idea of a story centered on the challenges of men when they work researching and creating in freedom. It was 1963 when César Milstein, like many other scientists in the world, began to ask the same question: how do organisms defend themselves, day after day, against million of viruses and bacteria that attack restlesstly? It took 35 years, work, concentration, obstinacy and tenacity to achieve his goal. How did he manage to go all the way? How was his adventure in life?

His achievements along all these years of research produced countless benefits and practical application in medicine, biology and immunology ; and they meant an advance in the developing of scientific knowledge. However, his spirit of joy, adventure and questioning not only brought challenges to science, but also filled the family in Argentina and friends around the world with the most exquisite and unforgettable experiences in life.
