They dreamed of a revolution that would transform Argentina. But what exactly happened to this hopeful generation who suddenly “disappeared”? Thirty years after leaving his native country of Argentina, director Juan Mandelbaum discovers that a former college girlfriend was among the thousands abducted, tortured, and “disappeared” during the country’s military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983. His personal journey, along with others who lost loved ones, tells the story behind the brutal events that still haunts Argentina today.
