The Official Story (1985) starring Norma Aleandro, Hector Alterio. Aleandro plays an Argentinian woman named Alicia who has a comfortable life, untouched by the political turmoil that surrounds her, until she begins to suspect that her adopted child Gaby may have been stolen from one of "the disappeared." Alicia goes searching to find the truth, and the closer she gets to it, the more miserable she feels. This is a powerful movie, with no happy ending. It won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The subtitles are not very good, but are adequate to the job. Grade: A-
