El Almuerzo
Released: October 25, 2015Runtime: 85 minLanguage: ES
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.
