EXERCICIOS DE MEMORIA (MEMORY EXERCISES)
Synopsis
Between 1954 and 1989, Paraguay
suffered one of the longest
dictatorships in Latin America: it
lasted 35 years. Agustín Goiburú, the
most important political opponent to
the Stroessner regime, disappeared in
1976 in Paraná, Argentina, where he
was exiled.
35 years later, Rogelio, Rolando and
Jazmin, his three children, come back
to the place of exile… A come back to
their memory. This is how we begin
an intimate memory exercise, telling
the story of a whole country for the
past decades.
