Un juego del silencio

2014 · 10 min

A brief, quietly unsettling watch where children's make-believe slowly curdles into something heavier and sadder.

Directed by
Rolando Almirante
Genres
Drama
Starring
Ariel Nuñez Di Croce, Ramiro Vayo, Demián Flores
Overview
A group of children, still in their early years, gather together to share a moment of play. They all agree that they are going to play war, more precisely, the Falklands War. They divide into two sides: Argentine and English, paint their flags, choose their weapons, and take up positions. It is only a game, but as time goes by, something of the tragic dimension of the events that marked Argentine history will take root in their consciousness.
