His letter and chocolate would never reach the recipient, the chocolate being later sold at a kiosk in the Argentinian town of Comodoro Rivadavia. 38 years later, Gustavo Vidal, the chocolate boy, embarks on a journey to reconstruct the story that moved, in its time, Argentines deceived by the press before, during and after the armed conflict with the United Kingdom.

On a trip through Patagonia, I search for traces of my Mapuche grandmother's silenced identity. There, I encounter the kimches (wise elders) who know how to transmit ancestral knowledge through newen (vital energy), transforming words into seeds for new generations. As I listen to their words, I recover part of that identity that was denied to me as well.

In January 1972, during General Lanusse's dictatorship in Argentina, a group of revolutionary activists occupied the National Development Bank, just meters from the Government House, expropriating 450 million pesos (approximately 10 million dollars today) for their cause. This was made possible by Oscar Serrano and Ángel Abus—activists and bank employees—who spent two years preparing what would become the biggest blow to the dictatorship's finances. Forty years later, Oscar and Ángel, along with a group of actors, recreate those events that changed their lives. In this dialogue between generations, the young people transform their perspective on activism and commitment during those years. Narrated through several cinematic layers, Seré Millones (I Will Be Millions) offers an innovative story that blends humor, rigorous historical research, and the epic spirit of the era.
