José Galante cannot and will not accept that his torturer is living only a few metres away from him, unpunished. Maria Martín is fighting to ensure that her mother's bones are exhumed from a mass grave and buried next to her father's remains. However, an amnesty law passed by a large majority in the Spanish parliament in 1977 not only guaranteed the release of all political prisoners, but also prohibited prosecution of any of the crimes committed by Franco's dictatorship. For this reason, many atrocities remain unsolved to this day. Over a period of six years, the filmmakers spoke to victims, relatives and human rights lawyers about their long-standing struggle to obtain admissions of guilt and the abolition of the amnesty law. Their film also describes how a movement that began in someone's kitchen eventually succeeded in gaining sufficient awareness for suppressed injustice that an international trial was held, during which arrest warrants were issued against no fewer than twenty former perpetrators of Franco's regime.
03:30 PM Amir | Amir
Dir.:Nima Eghlima | Iran | 2018| 106'
Amir tries to be a good brother, son, and friend, but somehow he always finds himself embroiled in his loved ones' conflicts. Not only is his sister, desperately trying to leave their parents' home, and establish some kind of life for herself against their wishes, but his close friend is in a tailspin after realizing his ex-wife is planning to leave the country with their son. Amir has his own problems, so why does he continue to take on burdens that aren't his—including trying to locate his friend's child? It's a story of a man—and, ultimately a country—suffocating under the weight of societal expectations and a foreboding sense that all his efforts to meet them will be futile in this bleakly urgent slice of social realism from Iran.
