The discovery of several tapes recorded in 1985, during the "Trials of the Juntas," inside the Anti-Subversive Museum of Buenos Aires, allows for a rare reconstruction of the dictatorship's discourse and reveals the residual power of the military even under democracy. This film illuminates a particularly dark historical period and creates a tension: the exposure of the dictatorship's triumphalist rhetoric and the mannequins as a spectral presence of the disappeared.
