SYNOPSIS ... duration of the war, the armed forces became beloved and exalted, the soldiers became heroes and not slaughterers. The population joined up and was pervaded with an exasperated nationalism. Paradoxically, the defeat in the war led to the fall of the dictatorship, restoring democracy in the country. The documentary shows how the islands still represent an unresolved problem for Argentina, which considers them Argentineans by right. The same popular feeling is also incredibly shared by the thousands of veterans, who at the time were conscripts. The veterans are the very protagonists of the documentary. From Buenos Aires to the borders with Paraguay, the documentary gives vent to their stories, as well as to the disappointed hopes of a generation, the one of the “children of dictatorship”. Today Argentina is a democratic nation, which is still looking for traces of its 30000 desaparecidos as well as for their executioners. With a great effort, the country has recovered from a terrible economic crisis. Yet, the Malvinas are still an open wound, but mainly and without the slightest doubt “Argentineans”. « back |
