Summary: Drama about three young Argentine soldiers who
are called up to fight in the 1982 Malvinas War. They all have
different interests and social backgrounds. Their stories are
traced from their first day at school until the end of the war
and its aftermath. The movie is the first one to be released
after the war, soon after a democratic government was elected
in 1983. It illustrates the drama of a society torn by the brutal
Military Junta that took the country to the war.
