Plot

Opening Title Graphic:
As the film begins a message appears and reminds the audience that approximately 30,000 people died during the Dirty War due to the military dictatorship's reign during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The story is then dedicated to the surviving children of the dictatorship's victims. Two such children, now adults, are the main characters. One, Daniela (Vera Fogwill), now has her degree in film and is having trouble finding work. She's hired by an older couple who are living in seclusion, to film Buenos Aires for them so they can see it again. So she goes out and documents the city. But her customers are upset, as they don't remember the Buenos Aires Daniela has filmed. She then shoots a reel of tourist-type shots in hopes of pleasing the couple. The other surviving child, Damián, played by Nicolás Pauls, works in a low-rent motel. He eventually discovers the truth about what his parents experienced during the dictatorship.

The story is largely episodic, blending together more than 6 different story lines.

Background

During the junta's rule: the parliament was suspended; unions, political parties and provincial governments were banned, and in what became known as the Dirty War, between 9,000 and 30,000 people who were considered left-wing "subversives" disappeared from society.[2]

Critical reception

Film critic Karen Jaehne praised the film, and wrote, "The film tells you enough about each character to evoke our sympathy and not enough to let us see any possible resolution of the dilemma of loneliness. It's an intelligent film that observes mannerisms and social behavior in a way that makes you nod and say, "Yes, that's how it is." It builds toward a very powerful ending that reminds us of many another urban disaster story, but the problem that has made Buenos Aires a metropolitan orphanage is undeniable. Buenos Aires - Vice Versa is a wise film - worth watching and will undoubtedly make it to a festival near you."[4]
