THE DARK CHILD | TBP | 68´ | DOCUMENTARY | ARGENTINA

 

 

SYNOPSIS

Nicolas Barsoff, a young Argentine actor of Austrian and Russian descent, rescues a box of film reels just as his father is about to throw it away. He hopes that this box will be the key to helping him unlock a tendency toward darkness that pursues him as part of an inevitable inheritance, which he tries to face with natural medicines. Through the archive, we delve into the history of a family signed by the First and Second World Wars, the immigration to Argentina and its Military Dictatorship of 1976. His two grandparents are presented as antagonistic characters around disappearance: two ghostly figures in a genealogy that Nicolas will attempt to reconstruct.
