Cristina's life is thrown into turmoil when she is suddenly escorted from her strict Catholic school in Buenos Aires and told that she is really Sofía Lombardi, the daughter of activists who disappeared in the '70s. Questioning everything she once thought true, Cristina embarks on a journey to find her true identity. Meeting others like herself, the young girl soon discovers the real-life horrors of Argentina's relatively recent past and the nightmare that claimed tens of thousands of lives during the country's "dirty war."

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film transforms a personal story into a potent statement on collective memory. Director Gustavo Fontane explores trauma through the lens of coming-of-age, where each discovered document and new encounter shatters the protagonist's old world.

What lingers after viewing is the quiet, devastating power of truth emerging from silence. It’s a journey that is as much about a nation's past as it is about the fragile construction of self. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Gaston Biraben
