Synopsis
Benjamin Esposito (Ricardo Darín) has spent his entire working life as a
criminal court employee. Recently retired and with time on his hands, he
decides to write a novel. He does not decide to make up a story. There is
no need to. He can draw on his own past as a civil servant for a true,
moving and tragic story in which he was once very directly involved. In
1974, his court was assigned an investigation into the rape and murder of
a beautiful young woman.
Set against the backdrop of the violent upheaval Argentina was going
through in 1974, it was not a peaceful place. However, as Esposito begins
to write, he relives a past that awakens all his demons: particularly
those involving his past decisions, uncertainties and irreparable
mistakes. Esposito realises is now too late to stop
him remembering a lot of terrible memories that were neither
innocent, neutral nor aseptic.
Telling a story from the past is no longer just a pastime to fill his
empty hours. It becomes a narrow, winding path he must take if he is to
understand and find justification for his own life, if he is to give any
meaning to the years remaining to him, and if once and for all he is to
face up to the woman who, thirty years on, he is still in love with.
