Winner of the Best Foreign Film award at the 2010 Oscars, plus two Spanish Goyas, this stylish drama is an intense thriller blending romance, crime drama and history, centring on an unsolved murder in 1970s Argentina. In 1999 retired legal counsellor Benjamín Espósito writes a novel hoping to find closure for one of his past unresolved homicide cases and for his unreciprocated feelings for his superior – both of which still haunt him decades later.
