During Argentina’s military dictatorship in the 1970s, hundreds of children were abducted. Many of them were born in secret detention centers and are now searching for their true identities.
To date, more than 300 Argentine men and women have been identified as children who were forcibly placed with other families, and more cases continue to emerge. Daniel is one of them. His pregnant mother was among the many women who were abducted, and he was taken from her immediately after birth and placed with a family loyal to the regime. Only recently did he learn the truth about his real parents. What happened to his mother, a left-wing revolutionary? In this emotionally charged documentary, Daniel meets with his “new family” and uncovers a past that had until now been kept hidden from him.
