The Last Look

2011 · 110 min · Thriller

An Argentinean born Spaniard, writer and journalist, whose parents were tortured and murdered during the Military Coup, returns to finish a novel about them, with the ambiguous determination to get even with their murderer, a former Sheriff who lives nearby in Patagonia. He and the Sheriff's daughter fall in love. He takes DNA samples of the Girl's family and realizes the truth; she is not their daughter, which means she might have been abducted from her murdered parents. He indirectly feeds her mistrust. The girl travels to Buenos Aires to investigate. She finds out the truth and faces her father, who avows never agreeing on saving those children. On her question, "Who am I?" he says she is a mistake and that she is alive thanks to his decision. It is her who ultimately solves the Writer's conflict in a tragical showdown with the Sheriff.

Quiero morir en tus brazos

Eduardo, a middle-aged man, receives news that compels him to abandon everything and return to his hometown in Patagonia. He longs to reconnect with his girlfriend of twenty years, whose love he foolishly sacrificed to face life from that point forward. His childhood, his family, the consequences of Argentina's fragmentation during that era (Perón's fall in the fifties, the dictatorship of the seventies, the devastation of the nineties). His deepest affections, his sorrows, his fears resurface in memories of those years as if they were the causes of the destiny he imposed upon himself, transforming him into who he is; placing him at the beginning—which is also the end—of a futile life disguised as success.
