Overview
Set in 1975, a year before the military coup in Argentina, lawyer Claudio (Darío Grandinetti, Wild Tales) leads a comfortable life with a large house and country club membership – until an altercation in a restaurant and a split-second decision slowly unravel everything he has built up. Director Benjamín Naishtat builds a quiet mood of foreboding throughout, as we witness a complacent middle-class choosing to ignore the growing military tension. A character who goes missing also acts as a chilling forewarning of the thousands of “desaparecidos”, those people who were “disappeared” during the junta.
Winner of Silver Shell for Best Director, Silver Shell for Best Actor and Best Cinematography at San Sebastian 2018.
