Sinopsis: Argentina, 1933. The Mexican plastic artist David Alfaro Siqueiros paints the mural Plastic Exercise in the basement of the mansion of Natalio Botana, an eccentric Argentine millionaire. Seventy years later, we trace the fortunes of this work which now lies in pieces in five containers open to the weather. Los próximos pasados tells the story of the mural's creation and destruction by reconstructing this unique masterpiece - a fable of what no longer is, a tale of what's next to go.
