An upper-middle-class wife and mother discovers that her adopted daughter may be the child of a disappeared political prisoner. As she searches for the truth, the film examines memory, guilt, and the brutal repression of Argentina's Dirty War. Through a restrained, intimate style and Norma Aleandro's powerful performance, it became a landmark Argentine drama and won the 1985 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
