English Summary:

Imagining Argentina is a 2003 drama historical film written and directed by Christopher Hampton and starring Antonio Banderas, Emma Thompson, Leticia Dolera and Rubén Blades. It is based on the award-winning homonymous novel by Lawrence Thornton. It was nominated for the Golden Lion at the 2003 Venice Film Festival.

The film, centered on a couple living through the ominous last military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983), depicts graphic images of suffering, such as rape and torture. The closing caption states that around 30,000 Argentines disappeared during the beginning and end of the regime.

During the last civil-military dictatorship in Argentina, the military government is abducting those opposed to its rule. Cecilia, a dissident journalist living in Buenos Aires, is kidnapped by the secret police to join the ranks of the disappeared. Cecilia had earlier published a provocative article in her outrage over the forced disappearance of students protesting the bus fares.

As her husband Carlos, a theatre director, begins to search frantically for her, he realizes that he has acquired psychic power that enables him to predict the future. This not only puts Carlos in high demand by those who have also lost a loved one, it also helps Carlos foresee what happens to his wife and other detainees. At one point, Carlos visits the Naval Mechanics School, the notorious torture center.

 

 

Hungarian Summary:

Az 1970-es évek Argentínájában javában tart a háború. Cecilia Ruedát, a szókimondó újságírót, aki éppen a civilek eltűnéséről készül tényfeltáró cikkeket írni, elrabolja a Videla kormány. Cecilia férje, Carlos és a lánya, Teresa kétségbeesetten próbálják megtalálni az asszonyt. Carlosnak azonban különös víziói támadnak, és hamarosan rájön, hogy látnoki képességei vannak. Elég megérintenie egy embert, és máris látja, hogy mi történt annak eltűnt szerettével. A hír gyorsan terjed, és egyre többen fordulnak Carloshoz annak reményében, hogy valamit megtudhatnak rokonaikról. A férfi egy esetben nem tud semmilyen jelet sem kapni, amikor saját feleségéről szeretne valamit megtudni. Hamarosan azonban a kormányhoz is eljut a látnok híre és megkezdődik a hajsza Carlos és társai után.
