Benjamín Espósito has spent his entire career working in court. After retiring he decides to write a novel based on a real event he took part in: the case of a rape and murder of a beautiful young woman that took place in 1974. Even though his department had two suspects, Benjamín and his colleague were convinced that the killer was somebody else. Those were turbulent years in the Argentinian history, and this case continues to intrigue Benjamín. Among other characters from the past there is his superior, a woman he used to be and still is in love with.

This excellent drama with elements of a crime and court drama won many awards, as well as an Oscar as best foreign film.
