Contents/Summary

Summary
The documentary is about a crucial moment in history when the sorrow of young Argentines whose parents were disappeared, tortured and killed during the 'Dirty War' is erupting into public action, and becomes a cornerstone for people’s movements all over South America, and even as far away as Serbia. Until these young people began to organize and demand explanations from their government, the predominant coping strategy has been to pretend that the missing are still alive. This film documents the power to transform pain into action to lift the veil of repression that has gripped a generation of young people.
