Esquirlas analyzes the explosion of the military factory in Rio Tercero (a kind of Argentine Chernobyl) from home videos filmed by its director Natalia Garayalde when she was 12 years old. As in a hand-held catastrophe movie film, the ominous calm of family scenes (middle class, his parents, his three brothers) is followed by shocking images of the explosions of the military explosives factory located next to the city that occurred on November 3, 1995, during the heyday of the Menem government, in turn neighboring a chemical products factory, images reminiscent of a bombing. Then comes the analysis of the consequences (family and social), the intervention and responsibilities of the Menem government, the corruption plot. And always through a lucid dialogue between the naivety and the playful spirit of the young amateur filmmaker with the dry voice-over of the adult director.
A documentary as necessary as it is extraordinary, related to the Menem decade, impunity and a daughter's love for her father.
