Movie Haiku:Intense first-person POV about a 7 years old girl hiding with her mother after her father's disappearance in Argentina's "Dirty War." Bright & vivacious, Ceci (Hertzog) is eager for her mother's attention/affection. But mother Lucia (Agorreca) is consumed by her own battle between defiance & despair. Painful but worth the effort & knowing it's semi-autobiographical helps.
