Tristezas de la pieza de hotel

Documentary on State terrorism during the last military dictatorship in Argentina, made in its aftermath. Invited by the Goethe-Institut to hold a workshop with young film students, Schroeter contrasts the official statements of the regime with the testimony of victims, dissidents and relatives of the disappeared. And trust that their faces and words will resonate much more than a mere representation of violence.

A portrait of a couple, living in poverty and prostitution. Couple is joined by a second woman, and problems escalates.
