Kamchatka

Marcelo Piñeyro and Marcelo Figueras wrote the script for this film co-produced by Argentina and Spain in 2002.

The film is in the 70's Argentina in the middle of the military dictatorship, many families in the Latin American country had to hide from their own government for almost ten years if they wanted to survive in their country.

On this occasion, the story is told from the point of view of a 10-year-old boy, Harry (Matías Del Pozo). The little one in the house is not yet aware of everything that is happening around him, much less what affects this situation to his family.

Together with his parents, played by Ricardo Darín and Cecilia Roth, he and his brother hide in their summer residence in rural Argentina.

The family acquires new identities and tries to lead a life as normal as possible, shortly after they will also be joined by a young student named Lucas, played by Tomás Fonzi.

His new life is stressful and precarious, but with the visit of the characters played by Héctor Alterio and Fernanda Mistral, the grandparents, it is clear that they are still a very close family and the possible way out of the situation unscathed.

The film is based on a true story of so many that happened in Argentina during the late 70s and early 80s.
