"Anyone can come to a funeral." "Not to this one." " To hell with you and your funeral!" "Stop it!" " Let her have it, Pancho!" "What's going on?" "Get out of here!" "What are you doing here?" "Maria!" "What are you up to?" "Come home right now!" "We're busy." "What have you done to your apron, Raquel?" "Nothing, it's just freckles." "Your parents talk in "funny" language." "Look, all these things smell the same." "That's Europe." "Our song is in "funny" too." " Sing it!" "She gave me the one with caramel cream." "When I grow up, I'm going to be an actress." "Me too." "Shall we make a pact?" "Don't be such a pig, dear!" "With us today the famous and much loved actress Raquel Kessler  minutes before she opens in Antigone." "Raquel, is this a happy moment for you?" "It's perhaps the happiest moment of my life." "It's something I've dreamt of doing for many years." "To put 'Antigone' on stage." "What is happiness for you, Raquel?" "Licking caramel off your fingers." "Grumbling like an old man." "Are you planning to have a family?" "No, I am not." "Are you?" "Me?" "I've been married for years." "Alberto is bringing my blowtorch." "They are looking for Carlos." "Are they friends of his?" " No, police." "No, security forces." "I'm probably a bit selfish." "I don't think so, you just have priorities." "You really think so?" "Do we decide for ourselves?" "Read a lot?" " Not us... the children?" "Take a seat." "Would you like some coffee?" "No, thanks." "I've got such heartburn today..." "And this?" "That's mine." "The great Don Ceferino." "Argentina, a country of peace and abundance." "No, the children are asleep!" "A target for international terrorism." "Where's your brother?" "Do you know 'The German' too?" "No..." "I don't know." "Our country has fallen victim to  dubious coalitions." "Let's see how many lies you've told!" "Look at me and remember my face." "We'll see each other again." "Now peace has returned to our country." "And this peace is a challenge we must unite as brothers  to build the Argentina of our dreams." "LET US UNITE!" "Bet you don't know where he is!" " In the shanty town." "'Through thick and thin, he who hides can't win.'" "Fellow citizens" "Tell all those who ask for Antigone" "That you've seen her go to her death" "Tell all those who ask for Antigone" "That I was not born to hate" "But to love" "Like my people" "We weren't born to hate" "But to love" "To love" "Did they make Diego head of the TV-station?" "No, not quite yet." "It's been so long!" "Were you in the theatre?" "What does Pancho say?" "He found the slum where Carlos lived." "I don't know why he had to build houses in a shantytown." "But that can't be the reason." "Was he involved in politics?" " Raquel, they've taken him away!" "Your godson Carlos!" " Yes, Maria..." "But there must be a reason." "Maybe it was a mistake and they'll let him go." "Yes, and they'll send an apology." "Let me take you home." "Here's to the play!" "I'll see you at home." " Why?" "It's changed so much around here." "You remember the way?" " Don't tell me." "Do you still hit Pancho with your schoolbag?" "Is he still at the factory?" "No." "They closed it down." "He works on his own now." "See that star?" "I see loads." "Just beside the Southern Cross." "The little one." "That's my star." "They took everything." "Even his dirty clothes." "That's where Carlos lived?" "Police headquarters." "Good morning." "No, Senora, we don't give that kind of information." "We don't know anything about it." "Good bye." "What a heavy day!" " What kills you is the humidity." "Finished that report yet?" "The chiefs waiting for it." "Please." "I'm Juana Martinez de Filipo." "Aguero 1238, 5th floor, Buenos Aires" "Please look in your files." "I've been here so many times." "The records aren't here." "Please, they must be here." "Police headquarters." "No, you dialled the wrong number." "Hallo, Pancho." "How are you?" "I haven't seen you in ages." "How are things?" "Well actually I'm a bit nervous, Tito." "To what do I owe this visit?" " Didn't you tell him?" "Why don't you come through?" "The chief has visitors." "They look like peasants." "Come in." "Best not talk about this in public." "Understand?" "Yes." " They can read your lips." "Ah, I didn't realise." "So what was the young fool mixed up in?" "You have to help us." "But of course, that's what family is for." "Will you find something out?" " Let's see." "It could've been guerillas in a police uniform..." "It was the army." "The neighbours said it was the army." "Any witnesses?" " Yes, they raided the whole shanty town." "Do you have the names of the witnesses?" "Okay." "Most importantly don't even consider legal action." "No Habeas Corpus." "But why not?" " Look." "What starts through the back door has to be handled through the back door." "What?" " I'm saying, if this was an action taken by the security forces..." "That's the name they gave." " What name?" "Combined security forces." "If that is the case, this is an action prior to legal action." "Get me?" "More or less." " It means, we have to wait." "This is not above board." "It's like a sleep-walker." "Not awake, not asleep and walking on a precipice." "If someone shouts he falls." "Do you get me?" "We can't just sit around and wait." " That's not what I mean." "I mean..." "Play it by ear." " 'By ear?" "'" "Handle with care." "Talk to people." "See how things stand." "Will you help us?" " Of course." "We have to tread carefully." "But if Carlos wasn't mixed up in anything, it'll be okay." "Don't forget, whenever it's rained..." "it's always stopped." "Let's go home." "We have to stay." "Carlos might be here." "Why didn't Raquel come?" " Lita, please!" "Unknown." "He's not here." "I've come a long way." "Please." "Officer." "I've been here all day." "Why don't you check the list." "I want to know where he is." "Where are my children?" "Tell us where they are!" " I want to know!" "We have the right to know." "Where did you take him?" "I want to know where he is." "Tell me where you've taken him!" "Where are our children?" "Your pass!" " I am Raquel Kessler." "I've been through here a thousand times." " I can't make exceptions." "Senor Ruiz is expecting me." " I've got my orders." "Diego!" "Raquel, what are you doing here?" " Visiting you but he won't let me in." "That's how well they protect us." "It seems they choose stupid-looking guys on purpose." "Yesterday I took mother out for lunch at the Plaza Hotel." "We had to pass a whole bunch of goons." "In the corridors, in front of the hotel, finger on the trigger..." "And they all looked like apes." "They've got technology but no class." "Where were you at noon?" "We had that meeting with the colonel." "With whom?" " With Lopresti." "Like it or not, he has the contacts." "I did it for you, you know that." "Yes, yes." "I had some things to do." "You're not involved in anything crooked, are you?" "Don't be silly." "Give me Lopresti's address." " You're going alone?" "Yes." "I'll invite him to the theatre." "Besides." "Maria..." "Don't even think about it." "Maria, if we take a siesta together, I'll help you with dinner." "Quiet!" "This is not about you." "It's Betty." "Tita confirmed it." " Sure?" "Positive." "Betty!" "Give yourself up!" "Pedro, on the corner, a girl..." "they killed her." "I saw them." "I thought they were coming again." "What are you doing?" " I'm not a kamikaze." "You are leaving?" " I know people." "People know me." "What are you trying to say?" " What about it?" "I'm scared." "I want to live." "They might mistake me for Carlos." "I ought to beat the shit out of you." "Where can you go at your age?" "Here is your aunt's address." "You take the train in Retiro, remember?" "I don't want him to go." "Go that way." "Get yourself a job and behave yourself." "That's your party outfit?" " You know what's the best thing ever?" "Shitting naked and sleeping dressed." "Open up!" "Good morning." " Good morning." "I'm Raquel Kessler." "Colonel Lopresti is expecting us." "Only you though." " Don't worry, the Colonel knows." "Good bye!" "I get you in and you go crazy." "What kind of behaviour is that?" "What?" "He treated us like garbage." " Keep your voice down!" "I don't want to go." " After you made me say you would?" "I didn't." "I won't see these people." " Keep your voice down." "Like it or not." "Lopresti has contacts." "But alright, I'll go with Pancho." "Like hell I'll let you two go alone!" "What'll you have?" "You're wanted over there." "Where did it happen?" " Villa Itati, in Quilmes." "Army or Police?" " Army and Police." "What date?" " May, 15th." "You know this information isn't for free." " I know." "How much?" "30,000 dollars." "Where the hell am I to get $30,000?" "Senora, we're trying to find a solution." "But for that we need cash." "We have to pay here and there..." "We're talking about $30,000." "We'll get you." "You and that Jewish Communist whore." "You are on the list too, you faggot." "We'll make soap of your little Yid." "Who are you, you son of a bitch?" "Ever smelled burnt flesh?" "What's up?" "They're threatening to kill us." "That's up." "You insisting on being Antigone." "They are dangerous, but you keep provoking them." "You are not Antigone!" "You're Raquel!" "What a beautiful day!" "We're like lepers." "Even the family stays away." "We'll find him." "Pedro called today." "Why didn't you tell me?" "How is he?" "He's fine." "Fine." "Doesn't he need clothes or anything else?" "You know he's a savage." "Some mothers are going to the Plaza tomorrow." "What plaza?" " Plaza de Mayo." "To the government house?" "In front of it." "Mothers with children like our Carlos." "What for?" "To submit a demand to the Minister of the Interior." "And they will do that on the Plaza?" "Yes... on the Plaza." "Why not straight to police HQ?" "It's a march." " A march, I see." "It's all women." "They won't hurt mothers." "And I'm going too." "Maria, I know you're desperate, but try to stay calm." "I'm trying to borrow the money." "If not, I'll ask Raquel." "I will do it, leave it to me." "I've had enough." "I'm not begging anymore." "Ok, but I'll go and ask." " And I'm going to shout if necessary." "Are you crazy or what?" "Are you telling me about Plaza de Mayo?" "I've protested there a thousand times!" "You know I did." "You know!" "But those were other times." "All that matters to me now is to save my son." "It's me Dad." "Next to the Plaza de Mayo." "There were lots of police." "She was arrested." "They took her away." "Yes, I do." "Yes, I know." "Yes." "Yes, I told you I will." "Yes, I'm going." "Bye." "Our Father which art in Heaven hallowed be Thy name..." "So that rapists and kidnappers don't rape and kidnap any more" "So that murderers and torturers don't murder and torture any more." "Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." "Tell us where they are!" "Shut up!" "Don't push me!" "Would you treat your mother this way?" "My mother doesn't do such things." " Did she teach you to hit women?" "Tell us where they are!" "Hello, Raquel." "Take them away!" "Alright, leave them!" "There she is!" "Today was a very important day." " Sure." "You deflowered your police record." "Raquel, the whole world heard us." "Our letter was published abroad." "Great!" "Now the whole world knows that they beat you up!" "No, they didn't harm us today, because they were scared." "Scared." "Of what?" "You?" "The Pope, the embassies, the foreign press." "Who told you that?" "Don't be ridiculous." "I have to find Carlos." "You have three children." "Three." "Not only Carlos." "You put the others in danger." "Let's go." "Thanks, but I'll go with the women." "Why can't we go with Raquel?" " I said we're going, Lita." "Here you go." " Did you steal them?" "Not steal, expropriate." "You're crazy." " Don't worry." "For you a corpse is a corpse" "It's the past A past which you want us to forget" "But we never will  let it be forgotten" "Ashes to ashes" "Dust to dust" "Dirty Jew!" "Communist!" "Filthy Reds!" "All Jews are Marxists!" "Yes?" "Alicia, I'd like to ask you..." "I'm touring in Europe." "Can you keep my dog?" "No, I can't." "Why not?" "I said I can't." "Everyone round here knows it's your dog." "She didn't want to?" "Raquelita will look after it." "We're your family." "Look, I brought you some caramel cream cake." "Don't go." "You should all come with me." "What about Carlos?" "Carlos means as much to me as to you." "I just want you to be safe." "Safety is for the privileged." "I see." "They threaten and bomb me and that's a privilege?" "But you can leave." "Yes, it's ripping my heart out." "Or what do you think?" "I think you shouldn't run." "You should stay and fight." "And you claim to be my family!" "The world isn't black or white." "Some things you don't understand or just don't know." "You however do." "You the great actress." "Or the great coward?" "I'm saying you've surrendered." "I say you're resentful." "It seems like Sunday." "Don't forget my plant." "Is there a strike?" " What strike?" "Has the government fallen?" " The World Cup." "It seems we've won." "Ah, 'we've won.'" "What a ghastly photo." "That's what the police said." "Germany will do you good." "Excuse me." "Thanks." "Look I brought something for you." "But it's summer there." "You told me it wouldn't be for long." "Diego, come and live with me." " I can't." "You know I can't." "Emigrant!" "Better than dead." "What on earth am I going to do in Berlin?" "Theatre." "Thank you." "Have a good trip, Raquel!" "Let go!" "Come on, don't play stupid." "Hold it right there." "Move back." "The Plaza is closed." "Go back." "You can't get through." "We are journalists!" " Move back, Senora." "You can't get through." "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Where are our children?" "Tell us where they are!" "Tell us where they are!" "Aim!" "Fire!" "Aim!" " Fire!" "Careful, the green Falcons!" "Call your embassies!" "Don't leave us alone!" "This is the real Argentina of the World Cup!" "Don't forget us!" "Tell us where they are!" "Tell us where they are!" "MARIA TARICO TERRORIST'S MOTHER" "Where is Raquelita?" "Great!" " What?" "I said we are great." "I'm running all day trying to scrape a few crumbs." "And you're out all day with these mothers." "No one knows where Raquelita is." "And the house is abandoned all day." "We'll come home one day to find the locks changed." "Are you trying to pick a fight, hm?" "That's it." "Just for fun." "For three days I haven't had clean clothes." "You could have told me." " How?" "By telegram?" "This is a great moment for us." "You know that." "We must keep up the pressure on the bishops." "The bishops, the OAS, the UN and God knows who else." "Don't you think you're a bit selfish?" " That's the word." "All I do is think about my clothes, my food and my daughter." "So why don't you make an effort as well?" "Do you really want an answer?" "Soon everything will be like it was." "I'll paint over the graffiti." " No!" "Excuse me Raquelita." "You too, Oedipus!" "Dear Maria..." "I'd give anything for a good steak with fried sweet potatoes." "And Argentine cheese with quince jam." "It's hard, Maria." "No one knows me here." "This was my parents' country." "Not mine." "When will January be summer again?" "The friend I told you about "spent" six months with Carlos." "Now he's here with his parents who are German." "Dear Raquel..." "The mothers have chosen me to go and meet the German president." "If "they" let me go, you need to get a bed ready for me in Berlin." "I also wanted to meet his friend you talked about in your letter." "Everyone here misses you." "Hello Mrs Kessler." " Hello Mrs Kranz." "Don't pull!" "Don't pull like that, I can't hold you." "You brought the sun from Buenos Aires." "Oh, I'm so happy to see you." "No, put your passport away." "You don't need it here." "People don't carry it here, you'll see." "Come on in..." "make yourself at home." "Oh... how it's grown." "I've brought you something." "How's Pancho?" "It's hard for him, Raquel." "And the kids?" "Raquelita wants to be an actress, like you." "Pedro is still in Entre Rios." "I brought your caramel cream cake." "Don't worry." "There are no threats here." "Yes, it's me." "It's 'The German'." "Carlos' friend." "Tomorrow?" "As soon as possible." " Yes, as soon as possible." "I organized this for Raquel." "It'll do well here." "You like him a lot, don't you?" " Yes, he's a darling." "He got me work all this time." "Do you think he'll come?" " Yes." "Hello, 'German'." " Hello." "Come, sit down." "Carlos talked a lot about you." "Yes, we were close friends." "Would you like a drink?" "You were caught the same day?" "Please, tell me about him." "First we shared the same cell." "But then they put him in solitary." "How was he?" "Bad." "Bad?" " Yes." "Bad." "He couldn't take the torture." "How did they torture him?" "Like everyone else." "Where were you?" "In Puesto Vasco, in Don Bosco." "And what happened?" "How is he?" "How is he?" "He started having asthma attacks." "His allergy." "Did they feed him?" "Is he thin?" "First they put him in a cell of his own." "Then..." "I think they transferred him, so they didn't have to hear him anymore." "Transferred him?" "Where to?" " I don't know." "But when?" "What date?" "I don't know." "I had no sense of time." "My great-grandparents." "You're always on about your ancestors." "At least they have graves." "I don't like cemeteries." "Why did you bring me here?" "Well..." "I'm showing you Berlin." "Now I know that Carlos isn't dead." " What?" "My God, Maria!" "'The German' said they 'transferred' him." "So they took him somewhere else." "That's not what I understood." "But 'The German' is alive, isn't he?" "That's what I mean." "How much time has passed?" "What do you know about it?" "My nightmares when I imagine him being tortured?" "What do you know about fear?" "About threats, harassments?" "Of course I know." " You get nothing of that here." "Its not the first time you call me..." "It doesn't surprise me." " What doesn't surprise you?" "That you believe a man who's safe here in Germany." "How do you know he's not a traitor?" "You're crazy." "Are you saying everyone who escaped is a traitor?" "That's so unfair, Maria, so unfair." "Is getting flowers the best thing about being an actress?" "Well, the flowers and the people, the audience I mean." "But you're so lonely." "You know, sometimes..." "I wonder..." " What?" "Why I didn't become an actress." "Apart from that..." "Can I be frank?" " Yes." "Sometimes I look at your life and I'm happy about what I have with Pancho the boys and Raquelita." "Dear President, we count on your help." "We're fighting for the 30,000 disappeared, our children." "The guilty must be punished." "The guilty must be punished." "Wait." "Why don't you put this on?" "I'll go like this." "A moment Argentineans have awaited for years." "A democratically elected president swears his oath in parliament." "Alfonsin is trying to re-establish democracy after ten years of dictatorship." "You really want to leave?" "Come to bed." "For the past six weeks  Argentineans have been living in a euphoric state, ... typical for southern mentalities." "Forgetting the problems they face." "The most important goals for the new government will be:" "The re-financing of the 100 billion marks foreign debt while resisting the demands of the IMF:" "To cut down military budget, to reduce the secret services, and to democratize the unions." "Why do you need to buy so much?" "I can't go home empty-handed." "Crazy Argentinean." "There we are." "We, the poor give presents as if we were rich." "Blessed are the poor, for we live off them." "Let's go." "Stingy German!" "I'm dying of shame." "Let me handle this." "Watch and move in when I give you a signal." "Goods from South America!" "Argentina!" "Maté gourds!" "A garment for madame!" "Argentinean goods!" "This is expensive, but look at this." "I see, is it a curtain?" " No, a poncho." "From Chile?" "A poncho?" " No, from Argentina." "How much?" "Excuse me." "I was here before..." "Oh no, you don't..." " It's 300 marks." "That's not true..." " But I spoke to you earlier." "When did you speak to me?" " Just now." "I told you I wanted to buy it all." " You want to buy it all?" "No way." "No, no..." " I want this." "How much is it?" "For you, 250." " Wait, I'll give you 20." "I'll pay 40." " No, 60." "I'll take it all for 200." " Can we sort this out now?" "Why are you doing this to me?" "You can't just spoil my business." " No, that's crap." "Okay, I'll take the whole lot, I know your tricks." "300 marks?" "Do you have 300?" "Tell me." "You don't, I do." "I know how it works." "Don't worry." "It's my official car." "Times have changed." "First I asked the driver:" ""Where do I sit." "In the front... or in the trunk?"" "You'll see, Buenos Aires has changed." " Really?" "So you've got two?" " Yes." "A boy of two and a girl with six months." "I wanted to call her Raquel." "But my wife said no." "Because of me?" " No." "No, she said the name was too..." "biblical." "Biblical?" "I saw you on TV in Berlin." "A programme about the elections." "I also saw Maria." " Maria should slow down a little bit." "People want... to live..." "They want to have hope..." "Look, this is the new highway." "You haven't changed." "You've changed too." "Well, when shall we meet?" "I don't know." "Today?" "No, today I have a lot of meetings." "And I have to get organised." "Alright..." "I'll call you." "We the mothers of the Plaza de Mayo don't want your pity." "In our fight to find our children we don't need your pity, but we do need your help." "We are strong, but with the media we can be even stronger." "Mothers!" "I'd like to introduce you to a friend of mine..." "Raquel." "We know her." "Raquel is a friend of the mothers." "She has always supported us." "Now's she's back for good." "She was in exile for many years." "Raquel, why don't you tell us about your future plans?" "Let her swallow first." "Well, I thought of doing a play about a mother's life." "When?" " Not that fast." "What are you doing now?" " Nothing." "I just got back." "Tell us later." "We've got it, we can go." "Come with us." "Maria, wait!" "Leave me!" "Give it up!" "You know our son is..." " I know nothing." "Who authorised you to do this?" "We've got a court order for the exhumation." "You must stop." "I have an order from Judge Lara." "Stop it, Maria!" "Stop it." "These bones are not our son." "They are not, Pancho." "Our son is beautiful." "Our son is a living human being." "Please show me the order." "I want something, Maria." "Even if it's only a grave." "That at least tells me he's dead." " This is just a trick." "They give us a few bones, so we declare them dead and then we don't bother them anymore." "But our children are not dead, they are missing." "And if someone comes and says they are dead or have been killed then show us who the killers are!" "These bones won't tell us." "You don't know what you're saying." "The dead must have their place." "We need to have a place we can go to and cry." "You can go home now." "There is nothing to do here." "I don't understand you, Ma'am." "I don't need your understanding." "Your son is here, Maria." "He's here!" "You know what lies ahead of you?" "You'll be alone." "Alone like a dog." "And this time I won't be there for you." "Do what you want for your own little safety." "And you go on exploiting your son's death!" "What a surprise." " I can imagine." "How are you?" "After you." "Two coffees." "Please." "Coffee, or champagne?" "I have to admit, I waited for your call..." "No calls for the next ten minutes, please." "I didn't move." "Come on Raquel, we have plenty of time." " Yes." "Things have changed." "You look lovely." "Thank you." "Look, I wanted..." "We could have dinner tonight and chat about what used to be." "Fine, we can have a chat, but I wanted to..." "May I, Senor Ruiz?" "Two, or did my Raquelita change?" " I want to work." "It's difficult." " I have to work or leave again." "Don't get so upset." "I'll see to it." "Well, tell me a bit." "How were things in Berlin?" "At least the river hasn't changed." "Apparently not." "Is he still as wild?" "No, he's a darling." "The country air calms people down." "So does age." "Even age doesn't calm mum down." "I'm so happy we're all here together." "It's a wonderful present." "The bill will be the present." " No, the baby is." "Now we're getting sentimental." "Oh Raquelita, you're so afraid of feelings." "You know, we like being together... and seeing little Carlos grow." "Mama, please stop nagging us about moving back to Buenos Aires." "Nag?" "We love our children and want to be with them." "You just want them to do as you say." "Me?" "All of you are stubborn as mules." "Is that my wife talking?" "Let's stop arguing and drink to your 18th anniversary." "Who is that?" "One of the guys who came for Carlos." "Maria, for God's sake." "Dad, I'm hungry." "Look Papa, I made a house out of toothpicks." "Raquel... thanks for coming." "Nice to see you here." "Tell me, where is Maria?" "Don't know, she left." "She was so tired." "Hello." "How much are they?" "Two chickens for 3,000 pesos, three for 4,000." "Can you show me one?" " Yes." "I'll come and get it later." " Ok." "Pancho, what about my TV?" "I'll bring it round soon." "Please, tonight is the game." " No worries, if not I'll lend you mine." "Well, I'm waiting." "I don't watch soccer anymore." "Oedipus!" "Raquelita is still with her theatre, we actually see her very little." "Maria has her mothers." "I still do odd jobs." "Making less and less money." "And how is Maria?" "She continues to live in her memories." "She still dreams of changing what's happened." "But... what's done is done." "I wish I might have had the chance to get to know Carlos better." "To talk to him, have a chat." "To help him." "But you always think of things too late." "Now we have little Carlos." "We have Pedro." "And Raquelita, although frankly, I hardly know her." "You came to see Maria?" " Is she in?" "Hello." "Hello... what are you doing here?" "I'm here to see you." "Not a very elegant way to receive you, is it?" "Are you soaking your feet?" "My feet are dead." "I've been walking all day." "Me too." "Come on then, put your feet in." "No." "Come on, I won't step on your toes." "I wanted to ask you out for a walk by the river." "Like in the old days." "When we were friends." "Aren't we friends anymore?" "I don't know." "How are you?" " Fine." "Sometimes I have work, sometimes not." "Are you happy?" "Ah, how wonderful!" "I bet the gods on the Olymp soaked their feet." "No." " No, what?" "I'm not happy." "Why not?" " I can't get the work I want." "As for the plans I had..." "Remember the one about a mother?" "I couldn't even get it started." "And you know why?" "Why?" " I don't understand you." "You're too strong to understand." "Me, strong?" "Yes, you are." "Because I don't make deals with people." "Because I don't sell myself." "Don't start that again." "I don't make deals either." "I just want to protect the bit of democracy we have." "Don't tell me what we've got to protect."
