This is a true story, full of edges and shadows, about the human condition. The protagonist is Silvia Labayru, an Argentine woman kidnapped in 1976, during the military dictatorship in her country, due to her membership in the Montoneros organization. She was nineteen years old and pregnant, and she was taken to the Navy Mechanics School, where a clandestine concentration center operated. She was tortured, forced to do slave labor, and repeatedly raped by an officer. Her daughter was born there and had to be given to her grandparents. Three years ago, she denounced sexual abuse by her repressors in the first trial of that type. But her story is much more complex than that of other detainees at that time. Argentine journalist Leila Guerriero began interviewing her in 2021. Over almost two years, she also spoke with her friends, her children, and her companions in captivity and militancy. The result is the portrait of a woman with a labyrinthine story in which love, sex, violence, humor, children, parents, infidelity, politics, friends, moving, and domestic animals come together.
