This is a Spanish Drama starring Antonio Banderas

The film reconstructs the modest process of filming a Super 8 action short by three 12-year-old friends in Buenos Aires during the spring of 1973. From there, a broader reconstruction unfolds, beginning, argumentatively, on the night of March 24, 1999.

Joseph Gruferman, a concentration camp survivor struggles on his deathbed to convey a sense of what he experienced to his daughter. Archival footage of holocaust atrocities accompanies his monologues alongside the reflections of his wife and daughter on identity, persecution, and historical trauma.
