MovieWar
A journalist interviews a general from the Process a few days after the defeat in the Falklands War. The general's speech is brutally sincere. These are the words that no Argentine military officer would say, has said, or will say. The idea is to exploit one of the feelings many people experience during the trials of repressors: it's strange that no one explicitly admits a single truth. The irony of this story is built on this sense of need to listen, with a certain moral and political awareness.

MovieDrama
This film weaves out of reality and fantasy and present day to the past through flashbacks from it's very beginning that the viewer is playing catchup to a film that never really gets off the ground. This is the story of Olmo whose mother left his father when he was young and is brought up to believe she is dead. The father and son live under an Argentine dictatorship and live in a warehouse spending their days cataloging and archiving anything and everything from toys to chairs and a vast collection of subversive propaganda. After the father's sudden death, Olmo sets off in the real world with the help of a young woman he has met to Galicia, Spain clutching a postcard that his mother had sent from there many years before.
