Synopsis
In 1956, one year after the self-styled "Liberating Revolution" dictatorship deposed Argentine president Juan Perón in a coup, a civil-military insurrection failed in its attempt to take on the power in the name of peronism.[3] In retaliation, in a vacant lot in the city of José León Suárez (province of Buenos Aires), several civilians accused of being part of the uprising are illegally shot by the dictatorship.[4] However, seven people manage to survive and tell their story to the world.
