The Night of the Pencils was a series of kidnappings and forced disappearances, followed by the torture, rape, and murder of a number of young students during the last Argentine dictatorship (known as the National Reorganization Process). The kidnappings took place over the course of several days beginning on September 16, 1976.

“Cordera y la fábula del escorpión” It is the eternal return of a man enslaved by his own nature, an artist who lives to create a work that makes him feel complete, only to inevitably turn it into failure once he achieves it.

Based on the lives of four boys, all of different social classes and psychological makeup, this film tries to reflect through them the political history of Argentina during the years leading up to the Malvinas War.
