A fascinating historical re-enactment of a major historical moment in Argentinian history. The film succeeds in balancing the pathos of the David-vs-Goliath Trial of the Juntas with a lightness of touch, depicting how a young lawyer, and an inexperienced legal team dared to prosecute the heads of Argentina's bloody military dictatorship and bring them to justice in a race against time.
