The consequences of the military coup in Argentina, during which more than 500 babies and children were relocated and deprived of their identity, extend from 1976 to this day. The short form series, shown here in its entirety, focuses on a total of eight individual fates.
Writer and director Mariano Pozzi takes less than an hour to condense the entire tragedy behind the military coup in Argentina in the mid-1970s. To eight individual fates that are emblematic of an entire generation from whose midst hundreds of children were torn and virtually "resettled." The military dictatorship lasted until 1983. And during that time, over 500 babies born in captivity and numerous young children were stripped of their identities and placed in new families. "Missing" is dedicated, based on real fates, to eight of these stories and the respective attempt to find out or restore the identity of these children. In the form of testimonies spoken directly into the camera, telling the story of the dictatorship through the eyes of those who survived it. As an exception, we show here the entire eight-part Short Form series.
