Contra-corriente: Ezequiel Helmreich - etnies

All-terrain, against fate

2 Aug 2023

etnies

Filmed and edited by Luigi Viacava

Argentina native Ezequiel Helmreich’s newest edit, "Contracorriente", filmed in Cordoba and Buenos Aries. Contracorriente means counter current in English- locals tend to say that when they do stuff against fate, and make it happen.

Filmer Luigi Viacava dives into the details: “This was one of those bad luck trips- I had to get back to Lima, Peru in the middle of the trip because of an emergency, and then booked a flight back to Argentina to continue filming. I came back, the car broke, my 8mm footage burned because I was forced to pass it through the airport scanner, flat tires happened every day, hahaha.”

Despite the ups and downs, Ezequiel and Luigi pulled it off, and hit some awesome terrain while doing so. Enjoy.
