Starring: Ricardo Darin, Soledad Villamil.

Retired Federal Justice Agent Benjamin Exposito decides to write a novel about a case he investigated some 25 years ago- the rape and murder of a young schoolteacher- and whose unsatisfactory outcome has haunted him ever since. The year was 1974, a time of rising political violence in Argentina. The story of Exposito’s attempts to secure justice against this background , and official attempts to close the case prematurely, forms a fascinating jig-saw puzzle. The film has been described as ‘sparkling jewel in modern Argentine cinema’s crown’, and won the 2010 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
