Synopsis
October, 1984. Celso Castro, a journalist with a long history of left-wing activism, is found dead in the apartment of a former Nazi official he had broken in to. Police says he committed suicide; the evidence proves he didn’t. The episode, worthy of a thriller, is the starting point for Flávia Castro –the daughter of Celso and director of this film– to reconstruct the life and death story of this special man. It’s a journey through time and geography: the filmmaker goes back to Porto Alegre, Santiago, Buenos Aires, and Paris in search of the places her family went through, as well as the hope and failure of a political project. The result is a powerful and moving documentary that masterly combines police intrigue, testimonies from family and fellow activists, and a story told in the first person about a childhood spent between exile and armed conflict. The intertwined voices of Celso (taken from his letters) and his daughter build this intimate portrait of a relationship marked by History and absence.
