Verdades verdaderas, la vida de Estela Page #4

That's what I am here for!

I don't know anything, madam!

OK, ask the manager.

Easy, we're both here, easy.

Defense Counsel of Human Rights.

San Pablo 1980

Well, we are permanently meeting

there in Buenos Aires.

And, well, we've been to Chile and

Uruguay, and our work clearly

shows that children

in those two countries.

The committee's actions

will be performed in all South America.

Luckily, we have the support

of the archbishopric.

Ha! The archbishopric?

Yes.

Where I was held under arrest,

there were many pregnancies.

Most of the times,

babies were delivered and

were killed.

Not all of them.

Some of them survived!

True. I remember one of them.

The day they released her,

I gave her a black lace bra.

And I told her

to take it as a souvenir.

What a stupid thing to say,

Her father had a paint shop

or something like that.

They took her away

for the delivery

and took her back alone and asleep.

When she woke up

Sometimes they took her out.

They took her out?

To the streets, for a ride,

so that she...

...would point at a fellow.

But she wouldn't betray anyone.

You're talking about my daughter, Laura.

They killed her.

And the baby?

What happened to the baby?

She had a healthy boy! Guido.

These are the frst of Argentine landing in

Puerto Argentino at Islas Malvinas...

I'm going to bed.

Go.

Bye, dad.

The attacks began at midnight.

The sky was covered by missiles...

ones of many planes crashed

in the Malvinas War...

that the enemy is unable to recognize...

Are you in a better mood now?

The thing is that customers

don't pay and

I'm not that good at numbers.

The Army was able to hoist our flag

again in the southern territory...

showing it's millitary power...

Where's that thing?

F***ing sh*t!

Hey, what's wrong?

Turn it off, please.

Dear Remo:
So many things happened

and we haven't been able to talk.

We have to be confident.

All this massacre and persecution

cannot last forever.

Today, I regret not having

strengthened our relationship.

I would really like you

to feel that I'm your friend

and that you can tell me

all about you.

Daddy told me

you're not playing tennis anymore.

Why? Did you get bored?

Don't let life get you down.

You have to be strong

and optimistic.

I love you and miss you a lot.

Don't stop writing to me. Laura.

Kibo!

I was stopped at customs in Asuncin

and the policeman looks at me

and says don't you know

you cannot bring animals here?

Animals? What did you have?

The thing is I had bought

a charango

and had it with me all day.

They were talking about you.

He was actually talking to the charango.

Leave her alone, don't be silly.

OK, OK, OK

Our return was also complicated.

Besides, at Ezeiza...

They're watching us!

Who? Where?

Right there! Don't look!

Let's go.

Let's go.

There, don't look, mom.

We're leaving one at a time.

You go first.

I'll take the girl.

I'm staying with the girl, all right?

OK:

No one is leaving this place.

What?

Pay the check, darling.

Estela. Tell her to stay here, dad.

I can't.

Mom!

Why didn't you stop her?

Hi. Yes, madam. How are you?

May I speak to the Doctor, please?

Oh, all right, all right.

Yes, Mrs. Carlotto.

Tell him to call me.

Tell him that, err...

we're here at the Capital

with my family, with my children,

who have just come to Argentina

to legalize and that,

well, we're here, having a good time

at a bar and there are some people

who look like they're from the

services and they're watching us.

Oh, thanks.

All right, tell him

that we're now going home,

to La Plata and please ask him

to inform that we're being followed,

yes. If we don't call you back in two hours,

please submit an habeas corpus.

That's right.

Well, thank you very much, madam.

Good afternoon.

OK, I've already talked to the lawyer

and now we're gonna stand up

really calmly, slowly and we're gonna get

in the pick up,

all of us, somehow!

Cramped at the back!

All together! Let's go!

Headquarters of Grandmothers

of the Plaza de Mayo Association.

Buenos Aires 1983

My responsibility is to ensure today

and forever democracy and respect...

I can't believe it.

For human freedom

in the Argentine territory.

So many people!

Would you pass those glasses?

Can I borrow them?

You're gonna get dizzy with these.

Girls, this is Abel.

My fellow was going

to the train station.

At that time,

we lived in Florida.

Three cars blocked her on the street.

I managed to see everything

but I couldn't help.

She was pregnant with Francisco.

There's a lot to do here, you know.

Besides, we're mostly women.

I'm serious. If you want to...

Of course I want to.

Hi.

So?

They moved again.

I'm leaving early tomorrow.

Again?

I left you some food.

Leave a picture of you, too.

I never see you nowadays.

If I see you on the streets,

I won't recognize you.

What are you saying, Tano?

You sound like a boy.

Is there anything you don't have?

I don't have a wife. How about that?

You know I'm tired.

I'm meeting a new human rights

group tomorrow.

What about my human rights?

Don't I have any?

Give that to me, darling.

Don't clam up like that.

Say what you think.

Lea, you're always seeing it half empty.

I'm fine. How are you?

Very well.

At least I see something.

But if we say A you say Z.

You're like that, Lea,

somebody has to tell you!

What's wrong? Is it el Tano?

Now you want to write letters.

You can read me like a book.

No, Ivonne, I didn't say that.

Every time I leave the house,

he makes a scene.

Talk then.

What's the point of talking?

He looks like a different person.

I always see the glass half empty.

Everything I say is useless!

I can't tell him anything.

I can't get angry because it's not

his fault but it also breaks my heart.

Estela, could you please tell

Lea to be clearer and to speak?

Don't look for allies!

We're all allies!

Or is anyone breaking away?

I suppose you're referring to me,

aren't you?

No. But you're always

objecting to everything.

You doubt if we're doing things

right or if you're going to find

your grandson.

Don't you ever doubt?

Yes but I cannot just sit down

and do nothing!

I'm home.

What are you doing, honey?

What's up?

Everything's misplaced.

Am I doing the right thing, honey?

Today I was thinking

"there are lots of grandmothers now".

What if I just quit? We could

spend more time together.

ata!

Don't you even think about that!

I'm getting a strong presbyopia, too.

Oh, thanks.

You know, this hand goes numb and

this one itches as if

I had an allergy or something.

Are you OK, Lea?

Yes, yes.

You stood up so suddenly.

Oh, well,

I have a bit of a headache, Estela.

Yesterday I...

No, it's OK.

I was too nervous.

I wasn't feeling well.

We all feel the same.

Do you forgive me?

There's nothing to forgive, Estela.

Come here.

What?

Here, look.

Let me see. It doesn't show.

What should I do?

I'd have it cut a bit.

Come here.
