Hoping to put to rest years of unease concerning a past case, retired criminal investigator Benjamín begins writing a novel based on the unsolved mystery of a newlywed’s rape and murder. With the help of a former colleague, judge Irene, he attempts to make sense of the past.

At once a love story, a revenge epic, and a mystery of political intrigue, this excellent thriller from Argentina won 2009’s Best Foreign Film Academy Award® (in a crowded year!) and has become one of Latin American cinema’s most popular exports.
