The invasion of the Falkland Islands on April 2, 1982, is one of the many traumas bequeathed to Argentina by the last dictatorship. With nearly 700 deaths and the perception that the event was nothing more than the decision of a deranged megalomaniac, cinema became a significant catalyst for the subject. From 1984 onward, a number of Argentine filmmakers dedicated several of their productions to addressing the topic from different angles, in diverse formats and genres, and including a plurality of voices. As the years passed, the distance from the trauma allowed new perspectives and novel conceptions of the event to emerge, occupying a prominent place within Argentine cinema.
