FILM

Don Armando de la Peña, is the owner of a ranch located in a plain of the mountains of the province of Córdoba, administered by the loyal and honest Pedro Oria, a model of old Creole who lives with his wife and children Juan, Carlos and Maria. The former is lazy, gambling, and bad-tempered, while Carlos inherited the virtues of his father. Don Armando is not satisfied with his children. Mercedes, his favorite daughter, likes life in the big city, she is flirtatious and superficial even when she is in the ranch; she has an attitude of contempt towards Carlos, even after his life is saved, but that attitude hides a nascent feeling of love. His brother, also named Carlos, is what could be described as a bad person. With these characters various dramatic episodes unfold.

FILM

Argentina's turbulent political history is an uncredited but clearly present protagonist in this rather slow-paced story about Ramon (Oscar Martinez) and his search for his brother Pedro in the capital city of Buenos Aires. Pedro has disappeared at a time of upheaval, after a military junta takes over Argentina in 1976, killing thousands of leftists and dissidents. Unlike many others, Ramon's father has political ties that matter, but that may not change Pedro's fate, which could be death -- or like some who have been tortured, worse than death. This film was nominated for a Golden Bear award at the 1985 Berlin Film Festival.
