This powerful story of the personal and political effects of Argentina’s history under the military dictatorship won many international awards, including the foreign language Oscar. Alicia (Aleandro) is a teacher and mother raising an adopted daughter. She begins to hear of ‘the Disappeared’, but her wealthy, well-connected husband dismisses it as rumour. But Alicia begins to question the origins of her own child.
