Estela (2009)

“Let him know that I’m waiting for him, that I’m looking for him, that he finds me, that he lets me find him…” says Estela.

Documentary about Estela de Carlotto, President of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, who in her home, amidst a few photos and many memories, reconstructs her family's history for her grandson, Guido. She speaks, looking into the camera and addressing her grandson directly. He has yet to recover his true identity and should have turned 33 this year. She tells him about his parents' lives and her own life, as if assuring him that even if he never sees it, he will have the chance to relive his story, just as she would have liked to tell it to him.
