Synopsis

Documentary about Estela de Carlotto, President of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, who in her home, amidst a few photos and many memories, reconstructs her family's history for her grandson, Guido. She speaks, looking into the camera and addressing her grandson directly. He has yet to recover his true identity and should have turned 33 this year. She tells him about his parents' lives and her own life, as if assuring him that even if he never sees it, he will have the chance to relive his story, just as she would have liked to tell it to him.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
