with director Natalia Garayalde

On November 3, 1995, the Military Factory of Río Tercero, in Córdoba, Argentina, exploded, causing thousands of projectiles to be fired and scattered in the surrounding towns, in a tragedy that would leave seven dead and hundreds injured and affected. At the time, Natalia Garayalde was a twelve-year-old girl living with her family near the site, playing with the video camera her father had bought, when she recorded the moments immediately after the explosion, as her family escaped the explosions, as well as the daily activities of the town in the days and weeks that followed. Twenty-five years later, that material captured from the candid and surprised gaze of a little girl playing with her sister to make journalistic mobiles becomes a reflective and painful testimony about the family, the destruction of a town, the traces of horror, the sinister truth about the case and the wounds that are difficult to close.
