Albertina Carri wants to make a film about Isidro Velázquez, an almost mythical outlaw figure from northern Argentina who was shot dead by police in 1967. She’s not the only one interested in him: her sociologist father Roberto Carri wrote a book on him called “Pre-Revolutionary Forms of Violence” and a film was made about his story, although both father and film disappeared during the Dirty War. Legends, families, political alignments, cinema: none offer a stable foothold and Carri’s passage through them is like wandering a garden of forking paths, only to arrive at a landscape of cracked earth and thorns.

A noir vision of a paranoid and dangerous Buenos Aires where a group of diverse Porteños are fatefully linked by a brutal killing.

In 1977, when she was four years old, Albertina Carri's parents vanished without a trace, victims of Argentina's brutal military junta. In this fresh and politically daring film, the young Argentinian filmmaker attempts to unravel the mystery, piecing together her memories and fantasies in a quest to understand her parents' untimely fate.

阿根廷中产阶级的魅力，竟如纸般脆弱。剧中一家五口，父亲沉默寡言，母亲精力旺盛，口若悬河。长子住在西班牙，夏天刚和女友回来举行婚礼。母亲左右打点，务求一切做得风光体面，却不料最小的儿子和女儿，在青春期的朦胧渴求中，一起沉沦肉欲的快感。导演没有对兄妹的出轨关系妄作解人，只是一步步营造气氛，把情节推向高潮。母亲这么爱面子，若发现真相，会有何反应？影片先铺陈中产阶级懒洋洋的生活节奏，然后迎头痛击。
