1983: After more than seven years of terror, the Argentineans recover the democracy. The reconstruction of a climate of time and an event that marked a point of break not only in the policy but in the culture and the arts of Argentina
Documentary based on original and personal interviews with Argentine presidents since the return of democracy in 1983 where they speak direct to camera and in the foreground, their mandate, their privacy and country.
This is the story of an optimistic and amnesiac people who, at the slightest glimmer of light, are prone to forget the pain caused by repeating their mistakes at the polls or by knocking on the doors of the barracks, and rush into hopeful celebration: a dubious World Cup, a war with England, the coming of democracy, etc. And so, between pain and celebration, they await that promised future of abundance.
