A deteriorated film, shot in 1982 in a Latin American country, presents a succession of everyday images, among which a few stand out that testify to the violent events that took place on May 9 of that year. Interspersed between the images, a man’s voice presents the official version of the events. Beneath its apparent banality, the film raises suspicion that what really happened was covered up.
