Imagining Argentina
Directed by Christopher Hampton
Produced by Multivideo, Myriad Pictures
A dark, intimate drama about a man's desperate search for his wife amid the terror and paranoia of Argentina's dictatorship, grounded in historical trauma and the supernatural.
Set during the unsettling disappearances in Buenos Aires during the dictatorship of the 1970s, the film involves theater director Carlos Rueda and his wife Cecilia. Shortly after Cecilia writes an editorial commentary questioning the mysterious abductions, she is herself abducted and taken into police custody.
