Presented by Medical Foundation  for the Care of Victims of Torture and the
Showroom Cinema

A special screening in collaboration with the The Medical Foundation, a
registered charity that provides medical treatment, practical assistance,
counselling and psychotherapy to survivors of torture and organised violence.

|The film follows Carlos Rueda a director of a children's theatre in Buenos
Aires, a city haunted by the ongoing disappearance of individuals who dare to
take a stand against the dictatorship government. He returns one day to find
his home empty; his wife, Cecelia, a journalist, has been taken away for
writing a controversial article in local paper 'La Opinion'. Somehow, he has
no idea how, he can see into the past and the future. People flock to him for
news of those disappeared. But no matter how hard he tries, he cannot see
where Cecelia is, though he can sense where she has been. He tracks her, but
wherever he goes, he is always one step behind.

Followed by discussion led by a former prisoner of the Argentina Junta and co
founder of the Medical Foundation

Founded in 1985, the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture
provides care and rehabilitation to survivors of torture and other forms of
organised violence.
