well when he wants.

Play soccer, Martn.

You're standing there.

- It was a foul, Sebastin.

- You see?

He's the same in school.

No respect for authority.

Does what he wants,

and my nephew lets him.

Luis Morini, Sebastin's uncle and

Head at San Jose School. My sister.

Natalia,

Martn Garca Sols' girlfriend.

And I'm a genius

at public relations.

She's not

very diplomatic either.

- Congratulations!

- Why?

I hear you're

top of your class.

Your father must be proud.

Yes... I haven't told him yet.

Do these names sound familiar?

Peralta, Ordez, Stein...

None of them, Why?

I'm sure they're based

on real people.

I'll find out,

They've found a tutor at San Jose,

a collaborator with the military,

They're making inquires,

What do you know

about Sebastin's uncle?

Morini, An a**hole,

Flirts with Peronists,

wants to be a deputy,

A reactionary,

What was that?

Clarita Garca Sols

using the word "reactionary"?

Darling, lots of water

went under the bridge,

- Nothing about Morini?

- No, nothing,

It's hard, Nobody

- wants to talk about it,

- I know.

You must testify,

Not just for Martn,

- Try to be here before the 5th,

- Ok, Clara.

I'll see. Bye.

Hello, kid.

Hello, old man.

I've come to play soccer

with the kids.

I heard there's a field around here.

Anybody know the way?

- Me!

- You? Ok, let's go. Go!

Comrades, comrades.

The University Youth

Movement expresses

its solidarity

with the meat workers,

who were fired

for being honest

and fighting leaders,

opposed to union bureaucracy,

- the mafias...

- We're not here to use people.

This is the only way.

No charity but politics.

I don't want

to be part of this.

Let's go, Martn.

And build

a better society,

with equality and solidarity.

It's the Youth Team!

You'd only miss

a week of class.

- I can talk to my uncle...

- I can't.

- Why can't you go?

- Because I must stay here.

What could you possibly miss

in this dump?

I said I'd go

with the Youth.

- They're a bunch of lazy charlatans.

- No, it's not like that.

You won't catch anything,

if you don't shut up.

I'm hungry. Anybody want

- a sandwich?

- Me.

This is the one chance

in your life.

Factories are taken over

all the time. Go to the next one.

I've given my word.

Ok, Superman, but with or

without you, they're screwed.

The thugs'll come from Buenos Aires

and fix things with the bosses.

Spoken like a reactionary.

I am not a reactionary,

I'm realistic.

- You're naive. Normal at your age.

- Your realism is comfortable

and bourgeois, did you know?

You sound like a montonera,

Has she had a rabies shot?

- Sit, Monto, sit.

- Where did you find this gorilla?

Cut it out.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Go, go, go.

Thank you, comrade.

It was when we lived in Urquiza.

My mom had a store.

- Here.

- Thanks.

- I spoke to Martn's mother.

- Yes?

- How did you meet him?

- Soccer.

Martn was 15 years old. I was

starting as a coach at San Jose.

Was your uncle Morini the Head?

Yes, of course.

What did he say

about you and Martn?

- He hated it.

- Nati,

when Martn got mixed up in politics

my uncle was not thrilled.

Yes, he wanted him expelled.

You opposed.

Martn told me.

I didn't want

to lose my best forward.

And then when they painted

"Morini fascist pig"

on the door of the San Jose,

you said Martn had been

with you all night.

My contribution

to the revolution.

And your uncle's

contribution to the coup d'etat?

Look Nati,

my uncle is a bit fascist,

but no rat.

He didn't share your dad's ideas

but he got him out, didn't he?

That's what they say.

Anyway, he couldn't know

where Martn was.

Who else knew he was

in Los Parasos?

I don't know.

I didn't know.

Martn and I avoided

talking about politics.

I went on a soccer tour.

Martn was like

a brother to me.

I came as soon as I heard.

Clara and I searched

all the police stations,

your dad the hospitals.

This is where the party is.

- Can I go to the party?

- No, it's for grownups.

You stay with your aunt

and watch a movie.

Did you know Tomi

makes the best "poror"?

- Popcorn.

- Popcorn.

If you teach me,

I'll teach you to take pictures.

- Dad?

- Come on, Tomi, you're a big boy.

Here.

We'll be back before 12.

Take care of the watch and of your

aunt, she's our special guest.

- Bye, my love.

- Bye.

Here, Nati. This is the number.

Call if you need to.

Ok, have fun.

Thank you. Bye.

No.

I don't want to dance.

Ok.

There's one

that goes like this...

Can you make popcorn for me?

Auntie, I found the tape!

Natalia! It's burning!

Natalia! Come!

- Get away!

- Hurry, Natalia!

Get out!

Look what you've done.

You almost burned

my house down.

I want you to leave.

- I want my mom and dad.

- It was an accident.

No, it wasn't an accident.

I knew you were a terrorist.

What?

And I knew

you were a montera,

- Montonera?

- Yes, go away.

I wanted to caress you

when you were in your mom's belly.

I asked her

to name you Toms.

Did you know that?

No, of course you didn't.

And you don't know how many times

I wanted to visit for your birthday

and couldn't.

So I sent

the walkie-talkies,

the Batman costume...

- They don't have batteries.

- What?

The walkie-talkies.

We'll buy some tomorrow.

Now go to bed.

Your mom will worry

if she finds you sleeping there.

Turn around.

Why did you never

come and visit?

The military was in Argentina

and I couldn't go back.

That's why I didn't come for

your birthdays, or Christmas,

or when my dad got sick.

Not even when he died.

You can turn around now.

And why don't you go

and visit Grandma Marta?

The military are gone.

I'm scared.

Scared of what?

Give me your gun.

Put those down

or I'll shoot her.

On the ground, slowly.

I won't forget your face,

you son of a b*tch!

What have you done

to your hair?

It was beautiful.

- Do you want some tea?

- No.

I'm pregnant.

Sebastin doesn't know yet.

No-one knows but you.

No! Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Tell my family...

85509, tell them!

Tell them! No! No!

- Luis.

- Elena.

- Where's Sebastin?

- He's not here.

- What is it?

- I was coming from the supermarket.

They beat and arrested

a pregnant girl.

Calm down.

I'm one month pregnant.

Are you sure?

That's great, baby!

How did it go?

Fine, he just fell asleep.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Have a good time?

Today Sebastin told me Dad

was searching the hospitals

when they took Martn.

If he'd talked,

he wouldn't have gone.

- Dad was no hypocrite.

- No, of course not.

How could you suspect him?

I don't know.

They could have tortured him.

That morning they came for me,

they didn't find me and took him.

He was out in the afternoon and on

the same night they found Martn

- in Los Parasos.

- Dad didn't talk, Nati.

Morini knew the Chief

and that's how he got out.

Besides, how could Dad know

where Martn was hiding?

I don't know.

F***. The doubt

has been with me for ages.

Enough!

Leave Dad in peace.

- Do you remember?
