Sisters (2005)
8/10
Two siblings torn apart by Argentine dictatorship
6 May 2005
This is a great movie. It deals with the strained relationship between two sisters. One is a politically active student in 1975, a member of the Argentine leftist-militant group the Montoñeros and the other is more concerned about starting a normal family life. When the military dictatorship begins in 1976, the academic sister is nearly captured by the government and has to flee abroad, while the other sister moves to Texas with her husband. The movie takes place in a flashback, as the two sisters meet for the first time in 8 years, in 1984, while the exiled one visits her sister in Texas, looking for a boyfriend who was taken captive by the dictatorship. The Texas sister wants to lead as normal life as possible, while the other wants to find answers.
