SYNOPSIS

Buenos Aires, summer 1978. The city is about to experience an unique emotion: the final of the World Cup in which, precisely in Buenos Aires, Argentinawill face the Dutch team. The tension of the waiting for the biggest sporting event is palpable throughout the city, and it mingles with desires, expectations, dreams, loves of a group of young students, but also with the anxieties and fears of a population hostage of a bloody regime and its repressive terror. It’s the Argentine of dictator Videla and of thousands and thousands of people disappeared into thin air: desaparecidos just because “guilty” of not following the regime. It’s also about the joy of life of a group of young fomented by the waiting for a big football event. But this walburk will be too fragile and romantic against the injustice of a cruel, bloody regime.

A series of continuous twists in a seesaw of conflicting emotions will accompany with a desperate smile the young lives of the protagonists to “the last flight.”
