Minefield

Argentine and English veterans of the Falklands War explore what remained in their heads 34 years later. Lou Armor was in all the newspapers when the Argentines took him prisoner and today he is a teacher of children with learning problems. Rubén Otero survived the sinking of the General Belgrano Ship and now has a Beatles tribute band. David Jackson spent the war listening to radio codes and today listens to other veterans as a psychologist. Gabriel Sagastume never wanted to shoot and is now a criminal lawyer. Sukrim Rai was a ghurka who knew how to use his knife and today he is a security guard. Marcelo Vallejo was a mortar aimer and is now a triathlon champion. The only thing they have in common is that they are veterans. But what is a veteran? A survivor, a hero, a madman?

After the great success of Lola Arias in Chile with The year I was born, the Argentine director and playwright returns with this project that brings together old enemies to investigate the marks of war, the relationship between experience and fiction, and the thousand forms of representation of memory.
