Entrevista poster
NR

A journalist interviews a general from the Process a few days after the defeat in the Falklands War. The general's speech is brutally sincere. These are the words that no Argentine military officer would say, has said, or will say. The idea is to exploit one of the feelings many people experience during the trials of repressors: it's strange that no one explicitly admits a single truth. The irony of this story is built on this sense of need to listen, with a certain moral and political awareness.

José (Diego Capusotto) lives in Buenos Aires with his father, with whom he doesn't have a good relationship. He's a musician, but supports himself with the earnings from his taxi company, and when he can, he plays with his band in pubs. He's nostalgic for the success he could never achieve again, like when he played with his cousin Miguel (Luis Luque). They had both achieved a certain notoriety with the song "Pájaros vuela" (Flying Birds) by their band "Dientes de Limón." After a long time without seeing each other, Miguel, who lives in Las Pircas, a small town in the mountains of Córdoba, comes to visit him and suggests that he leave the city and come with him.
