Over 25 years ago, Argentinean generals staged a coup d’etat leading to seven years of terror, torture, murder and unsolved disappearances. The ensuing cycle of violence claimed many thousands of lives in a ‘Dirty War’ that continues to this day. Set in contemporary Buenos Aires, Looking for My Brother cinematically portrays fifteen life-shattering minutes in the life of a young Argentinean girl called Alejandra. Caught up in a tragic case of revenge, the innocent Alejandra struggles to make sense of deception, valor, and questionable heroism. While searching for her brother, Alejandra becomes witness to the assassination of a politician. When interrogated, she must think quickly to protect the honor of her family, and preserve her own freedom. |
