Buenos Aires, March 1982. A zealous young teaching assistant trains an ever-vigilant watchful eye over her pupils as she endeavours to uphold the strict code of conduct at the elite Colegio Nacional. Gradually the combination of sexual repression and obsessive surveillance create a claustrophobic atmosphere that threatens to combust.
Julieta Zylberberg’s award-winning performance is central to this atmospheric adaptation of Martín Kohan’s novel Ciencias Morales, a moral fable set in the final year of the Argentine dictatorship, which is the implied reality beyond the high school walls.
