the Novel..

First time I read the book I've most have been about 13 years old.. highly interested in what had happent in Argentina and Uruguay since my parents are from those countries.
But being born and raised in Denmark made it a strange and quite large part of my past without even knowing it.

The book was really good and I do think that the moive follows it for the greater part. But I do miss the trials in the end of the movie like we hear about them in the book.

But it's a good movie, but I do think you understand more of it if you've either read the book or know something about that dark period in the history of Argentina.. A history that continues even today with the "madres of plaza de Mayo" in front of "La Casa Rosada".
