"Is a place like the Navy's School of Mechanics (ESMA) really just like any other place? What should be done there, in that place where people were massively kidnapped, tortured, killed and disappeared? What are the limits or responsibilities of cinema as a recording instrument, or as a memory building device? Fortunately, Jonathan Perel's first film doesn't try to answer these questions, only to recognize they are as pertinent as inevitable...the trained eye will...be able to spot a precise and critical point of view regarding what takes place there...an idea about how a place's meaning is built not only by the past and memories that live in it, but also by what the present perspective can say about it." -- Container; text from Bafici catalogue, numero 12.
