El Almuerzo
Synopsis
On May 5, 1976, writer Haroldo Conti was kidnapped by the military dictatorship, which had taken over Argentina that same year. Two weeks later, the newly elected de facto president, Jorge Rafael Videla, invited several figures of national culture to a private luncheon at the Government House: Jorge Luis Borges, Ernesto Sábato, Horacio Ratti, Father Castellani, and the President's General, General Villarreal. The film narrates the historic event shared by these figures during one of the most disastrous moments in our history.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 14
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
