Even Memories

Alternative title

Hasta la Memoria, Siempre

Synopsis

Sons and daughters of ‘disappeared’ people in La Plata City, Argentina, carry on their parents’ fight-and-resist legacy at the time of the 20th anniversary of the military coup. Lucia Garcia, a 22-year-old Argentinean woman whose parents were ‘disappeared’ by the armed forces in 1976 and 1977, takes the viewer on a trip through her memories and the political struggle for identity and justice in a country where people are unable to construct a collective memory. This is a film about trying to come to terms with a tragic past.
