“Neuquén,” “Eva, can I stab bats in a cave?”... We know about those. What perhaps we don’t know is that there are fans that have turned palindromes into the passion of their lives. A happy journey through four countries, with dozens of men and women for whom the beauty of words lies in symmetry.

The passion of others hides a potential fascination for us. Most of us human beings are not members of the Renault 12 club or palindromists. However, some of us find it impossible not to notice the elegance in the disposition of the letters in “Neuquén,” in the fact that they’re seven, in the central axis, in the solved difficulty of the change in sound, in how that palindrome makes us want more. And there are more palindromes in this trip by director and –of course– palindromist Tomás Lipgot. This adorable film introduces us to a brotherhood of women and men who are enormously passionate about finding the best reversible phrase. And it does so with irresistible grace, with some contempt towards anagramists, with a festive animated segment and a song that will haunt you for days.
