action

In 2002 Guillerma's grandfather, 77-year-old Arturo, was kidnapped in Buenos Aires . The kidnappers demand an enormous ransom for his release, which the family can never afford. Guillerma's mother comes back from exile in Paris , where she has lived since 1978. But she is not particularly interested in her father's release, contradicts Guillerma's plan to raise a larger sum through a mortgage, and refuses to ask a friend of her father's, a high-ranking military man, for help. In 1978 she was kidnapped by paramilitaries as a member of a resident group. In order to save her, Arturo betrayed her husband, Teresa's father, to the military. Teresa manages to negotiate the ransom note. She throws a bag of money from a moving train. The kidnappers then release Arturo. He asks his daughter for forgiveness.

criticism

The film-dienst said that the film is "less about the potential for tension in the story than about a meeting of different generations, about coming to terms with the past and grief in a country marked by the traces of dictatorship". He works “skillfully with flashbacks”.
