There are no special effects of beautiful women in beautiful clothes, and I am not responsible for locking the eyeballs and igniting hormones to laugh out the abdominal muscles. It is just a small opening to a period of the most brutal political persecution in history, and the truth of history is deconstructed. For the viewing group, this Argentine political film in the 1980s is really a bit incompetent, unable to produce a smooth and incisive viewing experience, but it achieves a unique entry into politics and a ruthless exposure of the Argentine military dictatorship. The film, which was released three years after the Anglo-Falklands War, is quite in line with the tastes of the Oscars and the mainstream value systems in Europe and America
