Synopsis
The film explores the ideology of Catholic Nationalism in AR, which inspired and justified the state terrorism in our country through the partnership between church and military. Leopold, a man of 82, who lived the persecution and deaths of their friends in the dictatorship, explores unreleased files about this ideology, to prevent this reborn in new generations. It is his legacy. Thus, he rediscovered, over the history of twentieth-century AR, the major crimes and concepts of the ultra nationalist right, mainly anti-Communist, anti-democratic, xenophobic and anti-Judaism. The ideas of the most prominent conservative intellectuals, the actions of the oligarchy, the Argentine Nazi newspaper, and homilies of nationalist priests; are documents that talk with their material consequences: coups, persecution, torture, exile, disappearances, and massacres.
