LA BÚSQUEDA DE MARTINA

Martina García, a 75-year-old Argentine widow, has been searching for Criatura Cine more than three decades to his grandson born in captivity during the Argentine military dictatorship. Tireless, Martina does not lose hope to one day find the boy and rescue a piece of his history. The need to find his grandson becomes even more urgent when Martina notices the first signs of forgetfulness that accompany old age and the diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Past and present are mixed to such an extent that it is practically impossible to distinguish one from the other. One day, he receives the news that his grandson would be in Brazil. Despite her fragile memory, she leaves for Brazil following clues that, with great luck, will lead her to her supposed grandson, a 31-year-old boy who lives off small scams. Memories of the past merge with the present, making Martina's solitary journey a dizzying fight against time and oblivion.
