Director: Luis Puenzo
In
the mid-70s, Argentina´s military dictatorship carried out a brutal campaign of
torture and murder against thousands of its own citizens.
The
“Official Story” follows Alicia (Norma Aleandro), the sheltered wife of a
wealthy businessman (Hector Alterio) who begins to unravel the horrifying
legacy of her country´s past when she looks into the background of her own
daughter, adopted at birth, to find that she may have been stolen from a family
of “los desaparecidos”.
The “Official Story” is the true account of a woman
faced with the hardest choice she could make – to live a lie or risk tearing
apart her own life and family.
