This unforgettable political drama follows the return to normal life of a political prisoner released after the end of the Argentine dictatorship. Through a dreamlike and poetic atmosphere, past and present blend to reveal the horrors of those times. Astor Piazzolla's music adds a unique depth to this Cannes award-winning film, where Pino Solanas stands as the only Argentine to win Best Director, signing a cinematographic declaration against oblivion and in favor of historical memory.
