Overview

Andrés is a veteran of the Malvinas War. He works at the family transportation company. News arrives that the EAAF?the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team?has identified the remains of his friend Damián, who fell in battle. He has started smoking again. A delegation is being organized to travel to the Islands and attend the ceremony. An old pang of guilt torments him: when Damián fell, he was a few meters behind him, firing his weapon. He always knew it wasn?t him, but the specter of friendly fire casts a shadow over his memory.
