Great movie



People should check this one out. Great movie from Argentina.

Also check out these 'growing up revolutionary movies': "Blame It on Fidel" (2006) "A 9-year-old girl, Anna de la Mesa weathers big changes in her household as her parents become radical political activists in 1970-71 Paris." Manchura (2004) "Two boys observe a political coup in their native Chile." Have yet to see: The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2006) "A boy is left alone in a Jewish neighborhood in the year of 1970, where both world cup and dictatorship happen in Brazil."

Just saw this film, and liked it,too---very suspenseful, given the situation that the family was in. The only thing I didn't get was why after sending their child abroad, would the parents bring him back to Argentina knowing that it was too dangerous there for any of them---even his grandmother tells them they're got to get out of there, before they get caught. This is the part I didn't understand. I mean, why drag your kids through something like that? That made no sense to me. This is one of the few films I've seen made by a person whose parent (or parents) disappeared in that time period.

Good recommendations,though.
