The 2006 trial of Miguel Osvaldo Etchecolatz connects three stories of young activists from the 1970s, victims of kidnapping, captivity, imprisonment, and exile. For those who controlled life and death during the dictatorship, they were the "irrecoverable." The armed struggle, the years of repression, society's perspective upon their release from prison, and the perspective of younger generations on that era are some of the topics covered in the film.
